They are a great bird but a challenge. Breeders vary from great to dodge with many birds handreared making them either great calm parents or hopeless.

Ive had them for years now and love them. I know the good and not so good breeders and have learnt a heap about them.

If you ever need any advice or have questions feel free to ask.
