Congenital neuropathy and dilution of feather melanin in nestlings of urban-breeding northern goshawks ( Accipiter gentilis )
A pair of northern goshawks ( Accipiter gentilis ) breeding in a public park in the city center of Hamburg, Germany, raised 12 healthy and five aberrant offspring between 1996 and 2000. Aberrant nestlings (three males and two females) had pale silver-blue plumage and displayed severe locomotor disor...
