~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[SunAngel]

Thank you both! I think he was $10 well spent lol. I need to get new pics of my adult Seramas! Just waiting for some sunshine and green grass! Might be awhile lol.

I will have to check out that site too! I just got my first silkied and frizzled Seramas last weekend and am totally in love!

You know, there are a lot of "serama snobs" out there, just as there are with other breeds. However, with seramas, it has always seemd to be just a little different. I mean, constructive criticism is one thing - but RUDENESS is entirely another. Its just plain offensive, IMO.

Several years ago, anyone that posted a pic of a lesser quality serama was almost ganged up on, with everyone pointing their fingers at the photo, shouting "MIXED BREED!!!" I'm glad to see that isn't happening much anymore - maybe some people realized that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, I don't know.

But some of the comments I see being made about seramas nowadays by a handful of people STILL make me cringe. They make me not want to share my birds with anyone, pics or otherwise no matter WHAT quality they may or may not be. I never see these types of comments being made on the cochin thread or the silkie thread, for example - wonder why that is? Their comments are usually polite and helpful - and that's the way people LEARN. Not by being told basically "your birds are crap".

I never claim to have a SQ flock, nor a PQ flock - and I make no distinction between American or Malaysian - my birds are just nice little seramas, thats all. Granted, some are better quality than others, I have several "projects" going on, and I do try to improve them with each generation - but *I* love them ALL, and they please ME - and that's all that matters, IMO. Whether you show so-called "perfect" seramas (if there even IS such a thing), or if you have a handful of pets in the house or in the backyard, that's all that should matter to you, too. Regardless of what the snobs say about them.

Just my 2 cents...

I can honestly say I have never met a "Serama Snob". Every breeder I've ever contacted has been very nice and helpful and that includes Jerry.
