In a small flock, mixed sexes. Should I put the males and the female in different spottings?
I like "grackle" as well. I thought having the sexes together to show the differences would be interesting.
Nice spotting SFShep. I always liked the name "Grackle"-makes me smile every time. In answer to your question about separate spottings for the sexes - there's no need as they are of the same species. Actually, it's good to see the male and female in the same spotting.
