He is really impressive to look at. When I was dropping the grey green hen at a show today(hoping for some tips from the breeders and judges) and looked at the other bird in my untrained eyes it seemed as if Neo would have held up to the competition. Thanks for the input! Would anyone be able to spell the new birds colours out to me? and possibly what I could expect as far as future chicks go? Link to comment

It looks to be a Canary Cage. Link to comment

It looks to be a Canary Cage. That's an interesting point, Macka. In the photo, there are 17 standard cages, and 7 smaller ones that look like RazzleDazzle's cage. I wonder why there are so many of the smaller ones? Link to comment
