1st feed; starting point Desert Yellow
18 berries (feathers message after first 4 then on every feed afterward)
6 pears

Result: Seafog Blue 93,122,154



2nd Feed; starting point Seafog Blue
24 apples (new feathers message after 5 feeds)
11 pears
5 berries

Result: Mesa Red 118,51,4



3rd Feed; Starting point Mesa Red
16 berries (new feathers message on all berries)
6 pears
3 apples

Result: Midnight Blue 21,20,49



Total fed to date WITH new feathers:
35 berries
23 pears
27 apples

My goal from here is Soot Black 37,35,30 .. with Midnight Blue being SO close I am inclined to use one pear and one apple to nudge the red and green up while dropping the blue value. Any thoughts before i go through with it?
