Great picture! Lilly is beautiful--I love the shade of green on her wings!

She is gorgeous! How do you tell the difference between a Ruby and Greenwing? They look similar to me.

Beautiful girl you have there!

They look the same to me as well...She seems to have fewer/lighter facial feathers... Beautiful baby!

When you see a GW and Ruby side by side, you notice the smaller head and beak. The Ruby facial pathes are not as pronounced as a Greenwing.

Thanks for the photo and thanks for pointing out the difference. I too could not tell.

Here is another picture of Lilly.Look and the size of the head and facial lines.

Now I see, Gary. Especially the size of the head. The size of the beak doesn't look as big either, taking into consideration the body size.
