    your local rep bs rep should sell it you are supposed to be in the bs to buy from them but some will sell you some but i cant promise you they will your local seed merchant will definatly be able to get you some i know my seed merchant gets his and sells it at £10 for a sack its not the same as the bs mix but bucktons do about 10 different mixs

    i start mine of as soon as they leave the nest getting used to the show cage six weeks before the shows i start to bring them into show condition and extrs training in the show cage this ensures they perch and dont hide on the floor and also calms them down so if lots of people are around they dont scare and panic in the show cage
  4. ive got to say the web is a wonderful tool but it can be dangerous as well are these show birds or pets birds that live for a couple of months then die because mine dont and the people in my local clubs dont die after a couple of months was a again it is this generalization against all breeders show/pet that irritates me you read on the web some where that show birds are this that and the other and all of a sudden all breeders do this and dont look after their birds hoe many breeders do you personally know of show birds how many birdrooms have you visited of people with show birds at a geuss none its all of the web the wonderfull web a little bit of reading by so called experts with no qualifications but access to the web is not good when you move to england arrange some visits to some show breeders and talk to them

    dont understand the question why would she be sick ??
  6. so its alrite for her and others to have a go but because we breed show birds we have to be quite and not defend our selves dont think so bea sorry
  7. of course it goes on i dont condone it but to post it after a breeder post a responce makes it look like that person is killing his/her birds and i am getting a little peeved about the amount of crud thats posted about us in all parts of life people do things that are not nice but to keep taring all people with the same brush when some people actually do care really offends me
  8. i take that very personally i have never never never killed a healthy bird if i use the word culled it means it is removed from my breeding programme or from the youngsters i am keeping and they are sold or given away mainly as pets if i think they are unsuitable for pets i will keep them in my retirment flights
  9. bea thers is a massive difference in the planning pairing ect it takes years to start to understand the expectaions and trying to breed out a fault or inrease spots ect as for the cost i dont even want to consider that

  11. i think i would go with feather duster but its not as bad as i would have expected but then again i have only seen one in real life as to say so dont have a great deal to go off

    blame the women in the first picture i dont think she could put up with me in the house all day when i was off work
  19. those percentages will be over the breeding life of the birds and not per clutch and daz no i don't have the patients i must admit it always suprises me why people will want to know what colours they will get when i first started up and realized that you could get different colours in clutchs the waiting and suprise where part of the fun its different now that i am showing
