Hi
Has any one ever seen or heard of normal and white bellied crimsons being kept in the same cage!
My aviary is 10m by 4m.
Regards jason

Never heard of pied crimsons. You don't mean pied Ruddies (African Fires) do you? If so, same species. Pied is autosomal recessive in Ruddies.

It would not be advised. They are distinct subspecies, not mutations. Aditionally, White bellied are worth 10 x the value of the normal crimson and would justify their own aviary.
