This is Sydney joining his new flock on February 2, 2001 

He is the highest bird 
in the center
of the photo
(blue band on
his left leg) 
wagging his tail. 

The two closest birds to us are the most dominant of the seven females.

Here, again, Sydney in the highest position, flanked by alert looking females.

Here, Sydney's position is challenged by one of the
Timneh "terrorists"

The dominant red-tailed hens are moving to Sydney's  defense, but he is quite capable of holding his ground.

Sydney is the only parent raised bird in the group.
