I heard today that it's possible for a baby slate masked lovebird to molt out into an entirely new color. Is this true or is my leg being pulled? :roll:

Hi Laura,
That would be news to me, as well. Possible, but I've never had it happen!

WHEW!!!!!!! I wouldn't want to have that happen and have to hunt down another slate masked lovie :x :x. Though my husband shared with me that it was the vet who told him that because they had actually seen it happen :omg:.

Laura,
I won't say it can't happen. I've just never had it happen to me. This would be the exception rather than the rule.

Every time I write that a single lovebird hen can't hatch a baby, I bite my tongue because there's one documented case where this really happened.....
