This is Percy. I have two Butcherbirds that come in for a feed.

The prime bird is Smiley (F) . Smiley is smallish but with a fierce personality. Percy (M) is bigger but very timid. Smiley waits patiently for something. Percy can sometimes pop in then just as easily disappear.

Percy is larger, thiner, has less colouring in the tail. Physical and behavioural differences mark Percy from Smiley
