I know i have said this before, theres not much i wouldn't give to have a silver mutation mandarin.

Me too. I like some white birds. Im sure he will sell those 1000 dollar redheads. Probably to a zoo or conservatory. But on the other hand if thats the only pair thats a heck of a deal. Also albinos bring big bucks if rare way more than whites,must be something about those pink eyes. If I was him I darn sure would try to get some babies first before I sold them or whoever i sold them to get first shot at any albino ducklings from the pair.

So let me get this straight, if you arent going to breed them, you only need the transfer permit.
How much is a federal permit, I couldnt find it anywhere.( I know I need it in my dads name)

Well today Im at my dad's, so IM doing a powerpoint on waterfowl to hopefully interest him. I got basic info I learned here, permit stuff, and about the breeds I may be thinking about. Hopefully he can see that im serious about getting waterfowl.
