A very interesting read about how these birds come to be.

Thanks for the link FB, you might be one of them or even me it's all too confusing for me Craig

My daugter did a paper on them for her Genetics distinction. So I knew a bit about the problem. David Bowie the well know singer has 2 different coloured eyes, so he is a more likely candidate. In humans it is more mixed up due to the differences in development with the XY genes compared with the Z of birds and moths wich make it easier. Would be really interesting if this bird is used for breeding to see if/what happens.

Did anyone notice this in Gary H's pics of blues?

Yes nxe04d, it was one of the reasons he put up his pics of the half sider and his blues Craig

All 3 of these birds are cocks so could possibly breed. If you read further on the articles of the person who did the one i put up, she indicates that the right side is usually dominant in birds (like people) so the right side should be most likely to be the father if it worked.
