I would be surprised if it was $110 for a visual lut pair, not that I have a vested interest in them.

Most 'Lute PAIRS' consist of lute hen and split cock

Not quite 'truth in advertising' . . but that seems to be the way it is done :geek:

Depends who it is and if its recessive lut or sex linked lut. Size comes into it - poorly bred lut's are small so they are paired with a split and it's also cheaper.

However I am referring to 2 visual yellow birds.

Well the sign said Lutino Elegants and they looked to be Lutino Elegants . Didnt ask the age , relationship or heritage as they dont interest me .

Since I have no idea of the normal price range I cant say yes be surprised or no thats the going rate ....so there ya go $110
