Have never seen these birds in person and I am thinking about tracking some down next year
What can you tell me about there breeding
Are they strong enough to breed colour to colour yet ??
And what seems to be the going price for them ?

Thanks

I bought some years ago for about $150 a yellow bodied star. At that point they were being breed to a fawn/cinnamon as a pr. I sold mine on as I wanted to concentrate back to normals. There are a few around but very hard to find down this way. I would think they would be easier to obtain in N.S.W. There is one or two specialists here with them that maybe able to help you out alot more if they read this post.
