Excuse him for being nervous, it's his first year with full summer plumage since his transition.
Do you think transmasc avians start growing bright colourful feathers when they go on hrt?
Seems like it makes sense to me, and i bet it would make for great gender euphoria to finally get your first bright blue feather after growing up dusky brown.
How much sexual dimorphism can you overcome later in life?
...Well, there's always dye if that fails...
A bit more fun with tan pieces, this time including some medium nougat and light azure!
Even gave him a big snuggly scarf :>
Can't wait to pick up the new creator giraffe kit, full of so many good tan and nougat and dark orange bits~
it turns out that yeah, in birds, if you flip their hormones around, their plumage changes to match:
(this can occur spontaneously, but only naturally in a small subset of species, and it's fairly rare! but if you wanted real world reference about your trans bird growing new and different plumage, there it is!)
