Just curious, sent a message to a guy on GBWF and the guy that selling them says they have pink eyes and all and that they are the only one's in the world priced at 1,000

I saw that on GBWF too. I bet they are cool, just out of my price range.

Theres a pic on another mandarin thread on here of them. There are none in the states though, and they are far from black, to me, they are hidieous, a disgarce to the mandarin if I ever saw one.
Take a mandarin and roll it in mud, and you have a "black", they are manadrin colored, everything is just muddy tinted and mixed together.

Thats the ones I was talking about, I dont know if saw I had the only ones in the world though, and for a grand, hey, they are just redheads, LOL

He can keep them.

maybe a few hundred would be understandable, but he thinks he's sitting on gold sounds like.
I dont know about the red eyes and all, a lot of times white birds will have red eyes, but unless the skin and everything is albino pink, they are just a white mutation.
I'd for sure let him keep them.
