Although the word "beak" was, in the past, generally restricted to the sharpened bills of birds of prey, [1] in modern ornithology, the terms beak and bill are generally considered to be synonymous.

The cinnamon mutation, first seen in the 1950s, is very similar in appearance to the grey; however, these birds have a warmer, browner colouring. Pearling was first seen in 1967. This is seen as a feather of one colour with a different coloured edge, such as grey feathers with yellow tips. This distinctive pattern is on a bird's wings or back.
