wow .... If i lived over your way I would persuade you to let me visit to see all of your Birds you know haha

Very nice tintola. I had no idea thay existed in Aus.

I've seen huge colonies of these in Qld but never expected any one to keep them. Tint, you're amazing, what you've got is a very special collection.

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.

Well he is special and I do say that in the nicest way. Would be good to see how he does it all, as to breeding some of these softbills must be an art..... one day , well done ....pete

I thought they were Glossies. , Sorry couldn't resist.

No, aparently some people (most) think that I'm talking about cockatoos if I mention "Glossies".
