I'm Getting my First Tuxedo

Meet Junior Butcher Bird who is just over 12 months old and is in the process of getting his adult, black and white plumage. As juveniles, they are a browny/grey and white. He's a real cheeky little bugger.

They say the months
Twixt 12 and 20
Are the months of confusion and doubt

Can you hand feed him?

He's a lovely little guy. I like the blue beak.

Lovely focus, detail, wonderful colour and even the catch light in the eye, I can almost make out his bow-tie developing Terry, lol:)

Those vultures will take care of him :) Nice shot.

@gilbertwood Thought I may have got a reaction to the (bastardised) song reference. Very disappointed. :-(

[Denise (lyndemc)]

He's growing up! It's been cool to watch that transformation happen in your photos.
