Hi Gomer, I only have a few these days and they are very hard to breed 1 step forward 2 steps back. I have only sold them to a couple of local breeders , they have had limited success, we are always short on cock birds. Jason I do know Rino and have done for many years, are you the Jason who Bred all those Green Avadavats in the late 90's.

Hi Augusto Ive been breeding WB's for a couple of years now and having good results,this year so far i have 14 young and more in the nests.Ihave 4 pr
and 3 spare cocks.The early bred young are moulting out now and it seems i am going to get alot more hens than cocks,which will be a bonus for my spare
cocks for next year. Next year i'm driving to Cape York and it would be great to get in touch with you on the way. I have some great pics of my WB's and
lesser redbrows which i will post soon cheers craig :thumbup:

I didn't know about this mutation so I googled and came up with a shot on someones Photobucket file that showed up on Hit My Spot and it looks like a yellow crimson but it may be fake

This is not fake. These birds my friend saw at an exhibition in Holland.

It certainly looks like one I saw in the late 80's - can't remember where except southside Brisbane.
