I kind of like the sellers who have no idea what the hell they are talking about, I just have a good laugh at their expense & say that I aint buying birds from them

I am also in need of a red cheeked cordon bleu hen (did I get that right) :lol:
But it seems they are in rather short supply on this side of the country too.
Easier to get a pied than a normal and sorry but this is one of the types in
which I prefer the normals to pieds.

Another beautiful species on the path to destruction thanks to mutation breeding.

Easier to get pieds here too , thats when they are about ......its all about money $75.00 for a pied male split ! Where a pair of normals will cost $50.00.
All the talk around here is that breeders are sending birds overseas , the market is hungry for aussie bred birds and the $$$ are there.
Averice and greed as the song goes.
