It seems to me that if the bird is half of each sex breeding would be unlikely. (Too confused to know if it should chat up Brad or Angie) However if it is all one sex just different colours there would not be any problem. It does not have a mirror.

Anyone here ever bred a half-sider?

Interesting how the beak is all dark red like a cock's.
Would love to see what's happening inside with the gonads- perhaps an ovary on the left and a testis on the right?

And now to get completely off topic . .
Does anyone know where the hanging feeders, as shown in the half-sider cardinal pic, can be purchased
I wouldn't use them as a permanent feeder, but they look like a good backup for a weekend away situation

I bought mine at the BigW, I think I paid $40. National Geographic Shops I think had them, sometimes even the "$2 Shops" have then. Here in Sydney most times you can find them up at the Flemington Markets.arthur wrote:Thanks V . .
