Far I know deb they aren't here yet. There are probably alot of people trying and they have succeed they are keeping it quiet and probably trying to get a few young before even announcing it. I would also bet that the young would he of a year or two to make sure the cheeks don't moult out and even if the chicks produce this trait in young. As jay said maybe others could confirm this better than I.

They're cool little birds- my partner saw me looking at them, and asked if we could get some at the Mornington Bird Sale! He was very disappointed when I said that they aren't an established mutation here.
