Molting season is HARD, yโall! ๐น
These babies look like theyโve been through absolute war, but thereโs also something so beautiful about this stage that I donโt think gets talked about enough. IMO ๐ฅน๐
Take this little girl, for example. Sheโs lost just about all her feathers, but LOOK at the things you can see so clearly! Her perfect little comb with no horns, that super dark skin, her perfect little beakโฆ all these little details that make you stop and appreciate the standard of perfection weโre working toward. ๐ป
Sometimes, when all those beautiful feathers are gone, you get a whole new appreciation for whatโs underneath them. Itโs like a little breath of fresh air being able to really see and evaluate all those wonderful traits without the fluff getting in the way! AND THAT MAKES ME SOOOOO HAPPY! ๐ฅฐโจ๐ป
So yes, they absolutely look a little rough around the edges right now, and weโre all ready for those pretty feathers to come back BUT thereโs beauty even in the ugly stages too! ๐ฏ
I love this little ray of sunshine.
BALD.
But PERFECTIONNNNNN!!! ๐โจ
