Missing feathers from mating
Cynthia’s shoulders have lost a few of their tan feathers, exposing the white fluff underneath, due to her mating activities with Falkner.
We’re not 100% that she’s female (hasn’t laid any eggs in at least the 2.5 years we’ve had them, despite the two of them very much trying to make babies; sometimes she wants to be the top but Falkner is not cool with that; she doesn’t do much nesting behavior besides cooing at corners).
