I'm looking for a good forever home for an African Grey Parrot. he has a large vocabulary, likes to sing and dance and like all parrots he does bite. he comes with a nice big cage. let me know if you know of a good home interested. He is not to be re sold or given away if he doesn't work out. he must come back to me

Always wanted an African grey.... Sadly don't have the room at the moment :/

Good luck on finding him a good home!

Sounds like everyone is busy getting ready for the swaps.
We are also.  We are still hatching whatever is laid for now to get a good head start.  I am looking for a LF Gold Laced Cochin rooster and also a bantam black or blue mottled Cochin roo.   If anyone one has any please let me know.  We are also looking for a Buff Orpington roo.
We are just now starting to hatch out blue/black Mottled D'uccles.  These are not hatchery birds.  I got them from a breeder.
It is going to be such a long winter.  I miss the swaps already. 
Here are some of my Mottled D'uccles.

how about a huge Partridge Standard Cochin Rooster. 6 Months old

I am not yet an expert on all the bird colors, so don't ask me about stuff like e+ and all that nonsense, but I do know a bunch of the simpler rules.

Lavender can hide, but blue can't. No bird can "carry" blue, because blue is actually half-splash. Two copies of the gene = splash, one copy = blue, no copies = black. That applies to any black feathers on the bird, so you can have a blue wheaten or a splash mottled or whatever. So if he's got black feathers, and I think he does, right?, then he's not able to contribute blue.  

It's normal to get brown reds out of a lemon blue pen, because lemon blue is just brown red + the blue gene. So it works like any other blue-black-splash pen, where the blues are lemon blue, the blacks are brown red, and the splashes are lemon splash.

See, me either on the EE and the e and ee and the + or any other markers. I had a black roo tat paired with black hens through the occasional (1 in 10 ) dark blue progeny. The thoughts of the big breeders at the time was that he was hiding a gene. Not something typical and I had not quite figuered it out yet when I lost him. The results were truley blue though.

You guys have seen this, right?
