I got to thinking the other day how most of the really nice birds I've taken seem to have very long snoods.
I think I will start measuring the snoods this year on as many birds as I can get a tape on to see if maybe they grow longer and longer as the bird gets older and older.It won't be all that scientific but it might be fun to see if it shows anything.Might see that the longest spurs match with the longest snood.It might turn out to be a better way to get closer on age than spurs.I don't think beard length and weight can even be considered for age.
I would like to get you guys to post snood measurements on your birds for a bigger data base.
