OH, yes, that's right.... in Australia you have both light and dark catagories. I recall reading about that. Interesting that the USA no longer has that, even though many continue to believe the best results come from double matings.
Yes, odd isn't it. I'd hate for them to just disappear when there is so much history in them. Darks are listed as "Vulnerable - Fewer than 300 purebred breeding birds" and while that's not good it's a whole lot better than less than 100 for the Lights.
This is where I start dreaming about having funds for a preservation farm... so many rare birds I'd love to collect but have to think about the costs of growing out the young to pick future breeders. Need to grow out lots to pick only the best.
I got some new pictures from Jeremy..... these are from E. B. Thompson strain ...
