Some young male shamas bred this year

Pretty Boy's son, DDS247, after the first molt.
He is slightly less than 6 months of age

Pretty Boy's son, Boy Wonder, at 22 days of
age.  The amount that he eats is a wonder. He
has a higher metabolism rate than any other chick
that I have ever come across. He gets very hungry in
half the usual time and eats a great deal each time.
My helper says he must have a crocodile in his stomach.

Rave - Photo taken this morning as he
was practicing his songs.
