Chicks or Adults?

  • MBear by MBear

    They appear to be moulting so I wasn't sure what to classify them as so I put 'Adult' as they are now young adults and close to independence.

    @MBear -"Adult" is exactly right. Since both adults and adults moult at the same time, it becomes difficult or impossible to distinguish between them. Any time you are uncertain whether you see adult or chick, please mark as adult.😃
