Review on:
I have (had) 3 golden sebrights and they have been an endless source of entertainment. I started off getting mine with a bunch of other chicks at a farm store, not knowing what was what. I ended up having 2 Sebrights in the mix, a male and female. They were the tiniest, cutest things you'd ever see and ended up a couple and BOY did they rule the roost. They have NO CLUE they're soo tiny! (the rest are bantams of different breeds). Did someone say FEARLESS. Believe it! They will protect their own to the end if need be. We had to put our sweet little roo down when he became aggressive after a fox took out 4 members of his flock. He started to attack any thing and any one who dared to get near his "people". We were sorry to have to do it because he was an intelligent, fun bird before the attack of the fox. the little female, Miss Thing ( she thinks SHE IS the Thing), aka Missy, became the head hen. She doesn't like to be picked up, but if you do hold her, she will cuddle and even give beak "kisses" to me on my nose...funny. She LOVES to talk to me and sometimes will come up to the patio door and "knock" on it with her beak if she wants to see me or get a treat. She's very cheeky and will sometimes follow me into the house and demand something to eat. Needless to say, sh's been a joy (and yes, sometimes a headache).
My third little one was a girl whom we rescued. Lacey was my little grandson's and he came running to me telling me she was dying. She was and the other birds had attacked her. To make a long story short, I nursed her back to some health although she had a lung condition that put a strain on her whole little body. She was a year old when I got her and had never laid an egg, but a couple of months after we got her, she laid her first one. She eventually became a Mom and raised 2 beautiful little roos from adopted eggs. She was a bright, sweet, loving AND appreciative little girl,unfortunately, we lost her this Fall to her condition...she is greatly missed.
Would I own more Sebrights. Yes, in a heartbeat. The Roos ARE loud, but the birds are bright, perky and down right characters. They're plain fun to watch.
