Just my opinion, but none of the mutations are as colorful or attractive as the original, wild, color.

I agree. The normal phase is perfect and none of the color morphs come close to matching it.

yea i agree with both of u
lol
normal phase is my fav but i like the whites, silvers, and apricots as well

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

yep, they all seem to just be dulled out versions of the beautiful original
I do like the whites, but that's it

Lobo, do you have a black male for a pic comparison?

 

[lcw1995]

I agree also.But to each his own. The "new color" wow factor always comes into play first. But thanks for sharing the beautiful pics Lobo.(and keep on sharing pics of your birds please) I have kept variants of wood ducks and manderins. I pretty much like a white or albino of any animal. But original colors on mandies or woodies cant be improved IMO. Im also glad they are plentiful and inexpensive so everyone can enjoy them.
