Randy had arrived at the rookery for his first (he hoped) breeding season a little early. No one else was here yet; his adult plumage was iffy and his voice had not finished changing. He hoped he wasn't going to have to sing those old Four Seasons/Frankie Valli falsetto songs to attract a mate . . .
Elvis Wannabe
With his voice still changing, teenaged Chuckie (or Chucklehead, as his friends called him) couldn’t help but miss a few notes with his Elvis impersonation at the school talent show . . .
Tough Transition
Ruben was going through a tough transition from kid to adult. He had the size, and he could fly (though his father complained that flight insurance for inexperienced teens was horribly expensive), but the hardest part was the scruffy look as his feathers slowly turned full red, and his voice changed from childish cheeps to someone to reckon with. Instinctively he knew, in spite of the pent up desire, he was not exactly a chick magnet . . . . David, Sf.G.
