Eastern rosellas mutations
Posted: 08 May 2017, 18:26
Went to the Fairfield bird sale on sunday, bought 2 red lizard canaries and a pr of Easterns.
Couldn't help myself, only wanted the hen but seller wouldn't seperate. My mate who went with me and also breeds Rosellas said on the way back i will swap you a Eastern Rosella young cock for a normal scarlet chested hen, i bred a nice pure normal last season.
The cock Eastern from my mate is normal split dilute,black, lutino , red.
The pair i bought normal cock split red, cinnamon. The hen is red (opaline) split dilute,black.
Will swap cocks .
The other cock that i bought will put with a straight red hen.
I also have another pair that bred 3 cock birds last season for their first attempt, he is cinnamon split red, lutino and she is normal split black..
He was originally bought with a rubino hen that i lost also in the same season lost a rubino cock, both broken necks from goshawk attacks, i hate them with a passion as always seem to single out the easterns in the avairies. Years ago lost a breeding pr, lutino cock, normal hen 3 lutino young hens and a 2 split cocks over 3 days to broken necks all from a goshawk, saw him coming low over the fence when lost second last one and hit the wire at front of avairy full speed. No wonder the easterns were hitting the back wall so hard and breaking necks
Hope i have better luck this season coming, and have the possibility to breed some great colour combos.
