Black Francolin

In all fairness Froncolin could have been the name of a type of pheasant. They are absolutely gorgeous.

I've been trying to get into the exotic birds. They are beautiful and can sell for a lot.

I'm partial to Victoria Crowned Pigeons, like that will happen. These remind me lot of those.
 
how are these for some one whos raised chuckars and pheasants never frans though

They are petty nervous birds and there are not as many in North America as there used to be, so I am concerned about inbreeding issues. It would be nice if Hawaii would let aviculturists take some of the introduced birds to add to captive lines (would really help with the Erckel's as well)!!
