I found some old pictures today and found it interesting to see how much Shay has grown in the 11 months I've had her. She was a rescue that I got last July, and was in horrible shape, very underweight and small. She's at least five months older than my male nic, and was the same size as him when I got her, 30 inches at about 18 months old. My 9 month old albino is around that size.
November 25, 2007. after four months Shay is finally a little bigger than Panda the nic, who is only 13 months old.

Amazing what regular feeding will do.
