Never ever be afraid to do whats right if the well being of an animal is at stake.

Thank you both, It's taken many years to acquire some of the species. Some of the zoos and only a handful of private keepers have them and only Taronga Park Zoo, Harry Carr and myself have bred them,that I know of. Please correct me if you know otherwise.desertbirds wrote:Very nice tintola. I had no idea thay existed in Aus.
