Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum, and would firstly like to say how useful I have found it to be.
Ive had my CAG for just over a year now, and it goes without saying that we love him to bits.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that when you play a "game" or he/she gets excited, the 'bare' area around their eyes seems to flush very slightly pink - I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this in their birds ??
At first we thought he was perhaps stressed, worrying or a little too warm, but on searching the Internet we have managed to find a few cases of it.
(Admittedly, it is something that we did not know - which perhaps we should have, but, apparently all parrots do it, its just that in the majority of cases you cant see it because of their feathers, and/or due to the level of 'blushing' that varies amongst species, so may be less noticeable - also babies are supposed to be more 'prone').
