You know chances are next time you have a go you'll have Normal Greens coming out of left right and center!

Our main blooodline is from David Bishop in Hobart and he concentrates on opalines and cinnamons so we have to look elsewhere for normals.....................Splat hi and well done on your success would nearly (only nearly) give my left one for some handy greens dark or light.......................as stated they are a rarer variety down here with only nine or ten birds shown at our last show.accross three grades (Novice,Intermediate and Open) So those that havem dont let em go cant say i blame them . So there is the problem. KAZ back to you why dont we have a TOPIC called WHINGE OF THE DAY Cheers TAZ D Link to comment

As for my darks they are not going anywhere, they are all offspring to my gorgeous stunning violet green. I kicked myself the other week because we have this new beginner starting and I tried to help her out and parted with one of my best like greens. Link to comment

We like you have helped a novice with some really nice birds and after 18mths they decided to quit the hobby (note hobby) and then wanted us to buy back the birds we had gifted him talk about a bloody cheek so am now selective in who we help CHEERS TAZ D Edited October 27, 2011 by TAZ DEVIL Link to comment

Our main blooodline is from David Bishop in Hobart and he concentrates on opalines and cinnamons so we have to look elsewhere for normals........ Look if it's any consolation Double Factor Green or Dark Green Normals are few and far between over here too so you are not alone in trying to breed them yourself. And yes it is incredibly frustrating to discover your otherwise perfectly good Green cock bird is split. However, you soon learn to to ask the questions before buying and in the end I think it is more satisfying when you get your own line going. Link to comment

But I wouldn't care if he was anyway. Violet Green Edited October 28, 2011 by splat Link to comment
