I have heard it before but what does 'high percentage' Onagadori's mean? Can you get low percents? Are Onagadori's a breed?
Lovely birds by the way.

Onagadori's are like the longtails of longtails. catch tho: none in the US which makes them so special. so naturally, everyone tries to get the highest blood percentage as they can. these guys have a higher percentage of the breed in there blood.. make more sense?
