- 1 yr. 9 mo. old Blondie & 4 yr. old Sunkist are unrelated 3rd
generation hybrid Capri Macaws. Blondie has been vying for Sunkist's
attention for the past few months, and he has finally warmed up to her.
Blondie is the lighter orange colored macaw with the bright yellow band
of upper wing covert feathers, similar to a Scarlet macaw's, but without
the red vein. Sunkist has the lime green nape and wide cape of yellow
edged in lime on top of his wings. Both Capri Macaws have orange-yellow
center tail feathers. Blondie has been molting recently including 3
of her tail feathers. Extra seasonal molts are often stimulated by the
heat from the furnace during the winter. All pix on this page were taken
inside with a flash on 2/02/09.
