Hi Lukec
In a recent survey held by NFSA none were recorded......this doesnt mean there are none...but it seems if there are any left in Australia they are in very low numbers

Yeah i saw these results.

I remember seeing these guys fo sale occasonally about 10 years ago and heard nothing of Peters Twinspots then.

How the tables have turned.

I guess they would probably thrive under the similar conditions that people are breeding the Peters twinspot.

It would be a shame to see them dissappear.

Definately interested in speaking with anyone who has these birds.

Cheers
Luke

Not sure, but I reckon there are a few tucked away. no one wants to sell em as they are too rare to replace should something go wrong!
