yes good choice mick. pictorellas are abit of challengeto get start with breeding but once started will breed pretty good for you. plumheads are a easy to breed and will mix well in a mixed avairy same with the pictas plumheads dont need livefood to rear young but do better if they get it and like greens when they have youngpictas need really livefood to breed but can breed without but success wont be as good. me dad earlier this yr stopped feeding livefood during winter so from may till august and he didnt even know the pictas were nesten but managed torear 3 young to fledge
they both mix well in mixed avairys and dont seem to bother anyoneelse
heres a link to a guy in sydney that breeds some mutatuions of plumheads http://www.geocities.com/craigsfinches/
