Hi,just thought i would give an update on the WB's,i had a very bad season late last year and early this year loseing 4 nests of 4 young due to the heat wave.
But what i have bred has allowed me to set up 4 more prs including another unrelated cock bird which i should receive soon(thanks to that person )
I also have 2prs in my holding aviary of which the cocks are not up to my standard and have been disposed of when the purchaser has his aviaries ready.
My hens are also shaping up to what i think WB hens should look like with a prominant grey bar across the chest separating the whitish belly.
So this year is looking good to get a few on the perch to sell,i only wish it would rain for a few days down here to fire them up,but in saying that,3pr are sitting and 4pr are building nests.
Thanks Di for posting the pics, Cheers Craig

Just beautiful, mate.
Let us know when you need to move some on...

Beautiful White Bellied Crimsons Great work for breeding them up.

absolutely superb - well done

Great stuff Craig.

How many other breeders/pairs do you know of? They are not a bird you see on the open market.

Cheers Ian

Great work truly a magnificent bird.

I've found 4 others Nationally,all willing to swap down the track and one that's sending me a cock bird in a couple of weeks,my best hen's awaiting. Craig

Not bad I guess but can't you breed some with straight tails.
