Thank you for your kind words Paul but ,all the origional researchers have tootled off the the big aviary in the Sky, the last one was R.J. Murray, co founder and foundation president of AA( not Alcohol A.) who passed away on the 22nd of Jan. 1992.
As for your inquiry to produce a Poster with all these Mutants mentioned would take years to complete,I am too long in the tooth to take up such undertaking,someone else might like to get their Teeth into it, the hardest knocks to overcome would be the set backs which will crop up on now and then, a team of dedicated breeders pulling on the same string would make the task so much more easy, there would need to be a team leader who co ordinates and allocates and collates the breeding results and then there is the ever present jelousy lurking just below the surface which has created a lot of friction way back then, Ray had to be extra vigilant so no "accidental" false results found its way into his findings.
Also with ever more mutations appearing,posters would have to be re done constantly.
Sticking to the Headcolours of the Normal or Wild Type Gouldian will always be on evergreen and permanent.

Thanks Ralph. I agree it would be a big task, but it sounds like a job for our resident genetics expert (Natambo) :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cheers
Paul
