Hey thanks everyone for your advice and help. I don't think i'll be letting him out anytime soon.. I
got for my wife and also so I can learn the husbandry of the bird.. But after much research I don't think i'll be breeding him. I'd rather start from birds that have been linebreed to produce a certain look. I'll be buying pairs at the Nationals (queen mary) long beach, Ca come Oct. I'm looking for better feather quality, linebreed/inbreed from champion lineage, bigger head with a more dominant mask and a really short bill. Kinda like this beauty
I'll be sure to post them as soon as I have them...
