As an off topic though, I was wondering if you knew how I might contact Peter Thurn AKA Chooker. I am seeking to purchase some Fallow budgerigars, and i see he is a big breeder of these, hoping he may have some surplass birds. If you know of anyone who breeds Fallows that might be a good contact, then it would be appreciated to get hooked up with any leads. Seems so difficult to purchase some varieties, like just can;t walk into the pet store and find them. Thanks, Trev Link to comment

I look for whitish rings on larger nostrils for females and smaller flatter nostrils for miles. Also females seem to be more bulbous than males. This is start from colouring. Am I correct? Please correct me Kaz,Finnie.moderators? Link to comment
