I have been looking at a lot of the eyes on Pipa lately and reading some old pictorials of an eyesign expert back in the day called David Bending.
I cant tell you anything about the eyesign (yet) but I'm pretty sure that David Bendings first observation would be about the cere on the 2nd eye and he might suggest that the bird may have had some sort of illness as a yb.
I'd like to know your thoughts on that too Andy if you wouldnt mind.

Great point Dave
2 years ago I sent some photos of my birds to a pal in the north west he picked a young cock just how you have and said that’s had a period missing or illness and he was 100 per cent correct it had been missing and returned with a knock

Dave I do like the first eye, there is so much going on I feel. The second eye is a strong eye to me. These two birds are 2024, but I wonder would they go together.?

Well my thoughts they would, and from very good top lines. It is for a friend of mine, so I thought I would get Andys thoughts. To me a strong yes Mike.

If you wouldnt mind Andy and Devo, could I ask that you post your conversations on this thread rather than via pm so I can get a chance to hear Andys views.
Just hope we dont get the knockers looking in - the "wouldnt bother as long as it has two" brigade!!
