Have seen them a lot in NZ. They're beautiful and have a great song. We should save these ones! Would love to find out more Mick. Craig

Rob's a good guy and an bird breeder himself with an interest in preserving many of the exotic breeds. Generally gets a lot of hard to find birds. PM me if you want more detailed info.
