So did we ever find out what the mode of inheritance is?

And the going price?

Rich.

Mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive.
Don't know current price but not long ago he was asking around $2k/pr.

Thank you Tiaris.
That's only a small fortune and would consider if I could take them home the day of purchase.

Good old WA miss out on all the fancy birds...

Not so terrific.
Essentially 2 coloured birds and 10 splits - if I read correctly.
To use them, you'll end up with a kazillion possible splits.

I still just like the normal bird. I guess in time it will be another pure strain ruined by splits

I like the challenge of mutations, but only if I find the mutation = to or prettier than the normal. In this case I prefer the normal. But all power to whoever took up the challenge. So don't think these will take over from the normal.
