Andyn 534 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 Hi all, Yesterday went to shopping complex called Trago Mills at Newton Abbot and bought this bird along with a rather big Pied bred cock. Unbelievable prices @ £5.75 cocks and £7.99 hens. ( not all same quality as type we bought) I'm not into specialist colour breeding but I believe this might be a BB Fawn Penguin and would be good for wife's garden aviary. Am I correct with description please?? Thanks Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulm 119 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 Looks like a BB Fawn does it have any orange feathers in the chest bars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 Paul, No orange feathers in the chest bars. (just been to look) Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 O.K. I have looked deeper into the presentation of the bird and it seems that BB don't have tear drops which automatically pointed me towards Penguine. Think I'll stick to what I know for now and branch out a little later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulm 119 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 Hi A penguin shouldn't have a chest bar, but saying that some displaying of chest baring is a common fault in penguins but not usually as pronounced as in a bb like this one. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
