Show off your bird(s) thread
Lets see some birdnests.

I am sure there are more varieties and colour variations out there than we know about, or at least some we do not see every day. But for the sake of the thread, lets see pics of them all!!!

Please include lighting info as well for your piece as lighting can so often effect the colour of this species.

Not sure but it looks pretty darn close, more like brianbigoats than 250G's. My camera doesn't quite get the pink, its more pink in person
