I really love the darker tipped beaks on the pearl chicks (I haven’t seen the adults in person), but I don’t like it on the wolf color scheme. Did they use a much darker color for the wolf color scheme than what they used on the pearl chick’s beak 😕
I think it was a matter of how much of the beak was colored rather than the color. I will check tonight when I get home, but I thought the color was the same for both the chicks and parents.
What the heck?!! WHY would you buy this?

Ack! I wanted to get a croucher, but they are all gone! I hope there will be another batch. *please*
Gawd, I hate being broke.
So when is the Windstone-savings-n-loan going to open for business? I would like a limited production account. 😉

Maybe we can form a Windstone Crime Ring and do a bank robbing spree….although, there still might not be enough money to get all the Windstones I really want!!!!!
I’ll be the get-away driver. 🙄

Hey…Everyone is entitled to their own opinions…just because you don’t really like it….it does not mean that others won’t…so it all works out in the end beacuse everyone gets what they want…. 😆
Very true. I will say that the dark tips don’t photograph well, but I really like them in person (on my white family). I think this one will be grand either way. I do admit I like the black peacock female over the tan one (but I don’t like the black peacock male). If I can afford it, I might make my tan male part of a mixed family. I also agree with other that the chicks should be very cute.
As a side note, I hope they follow the feather line better on the second batch. The pic for this one looks like the painters just sprayed a diagonal line on the wings for the purple and blue. 😕I checked the sample I have and the blue/black transition on the wings isn’t nearly as noticeable in real life as it appears in the photo. You can hardly see it on this one, anyway. I did fix the paint sample so that the blue follows the feather edge better. This means the next batch will have slightly less blue on the wings.
Great! (Now I just have to find the funds.) I didn’t take into account the color on the wings wouldn’t photograph true. I had been comparing pics of the male and the feather line was followed, so that was why I thought it was a little off. My bad. 😳

Congrats! A deal on a Windstone is always sweeter when it’s your Birthday.

travistie wrote:Yeah, me too. It’s mostly my own fault I’m in this situation though. I’ve been buying way too many things lately… Windstones included. I can’t collect both them and those expensive Peter Stone model horses I love… on top of taking trips. My credit card is just outta control… and my husband is having enough of it. Then we had to take our pup to the vet a few weekends ago… that bill came in. Oh, and I gotta pay the taxes on my car before my b-day next month. That will easily be another $200.00 – $300.00 right there. 🙄 It sucks big time! I wish I could get some OT to work at my job… but there isn’t anything available. I need to win the lottery… that’s what I need!
But I really need to stop complaining. It could be a lot worse than this. So, I just gotta keep reminding myself of that. Sorry for the whining!
Oh man. I’m so sorry to hear about that! It sucks to have to sell Windstones. (I’m in a slower sell-off process, but I feel your pain.)
Is it just me or does $1000+ for her seem a bit steep? She is absolutely gorgeous and all (and a wonderful compliment to Olimpia’s skill), but she is so small. The auction is now getting into the range of a Secret Keeper.

I get that way too, SilverArrow. I think it’s hypoglycemia or something. I should look that up. It’s not helped me lose weight at all.
Yes, I think you’re right. I used to eat large meals and then go for 6+ hours without eating. (The worse thing you can apparently do.) I’m now paying the price for it, so I have to be more careful. Smaller meals and more often.
As for the weight loss I have no place to talk. I have much weight to lose. I just hate rebounding onto the bad junk food when I don’t get enough sleep or don’t eat often enough when working out. If I find something that works, I’ll let you know.
