What's wrong with their feathers?

[Germaine_11.20]

No , there hasn't been enough time to outcross them yet. They are fairly new on the scene. But there are those plans!

I can't wait until they are old enough and the outcrossings begin.

That would be the link that brought us into the world of 'is this fray?' - somewhere back in the pg 30 range iirc.

I keep finding myself going back to the start - trying to cement this whole madness into my brain. There's been a lot to learn and absorb with these lovely birds.

I agree, alice. It just seems to me that it is obviously a mutation. (JMHO)
However, I am aware that is will continue to be controversial. Whatever the case, we will soon have more of them, and in a variety of colors!

Hmmm I missed the link too apparently. TY

No matter what the ultimate answer is as to the cause, the game plan is still the same.
