Penciling is a pattern of two to four black lines following the contour of the feathers on either a gold or silver (white) base. The dark brahma variety is silver penciled. In most breeds, gold penciled is called partridge. Adding blue or lavender dilution genes dilutes the black to a shade of grey. Dilution of gold in addition to the lavender gene results in a color commonly referred to as Isabel/Isabella

There are signs that summer is starting to be on the way out. The baby birds have grown and are now awkward looking birb teens, exploring the world in larger groups that are beginning to form pre-migration or all by themselves. And somehow many of them are aware of the cams and curious about them too. I also loved seeing that the Finches seem to enjoy catnip seed, and that Cardi boy is so pretty!
