April 1, 201015 yr Thanks again KAZ. I know I sound like a broken record but these Interviews are fantastic and I find each one to be unique in its own way. Love them.
April 1, 201015 yr Author Thanks again KAZ. I know I sound like a broken record but these Interviews are fantastic and I find each one to be unique in its own way. Love them. Its a wonderful enlightening insight isnt it JB. Some things are the same and others totally different. I still have another 40 interviews coming.
April 8, 201015 yr My first aviary was a colony breeding aviary 12 feet long x 6 feet wide and 7 feet high. After a couple of years I added a second aviary and a breeding room which tripled the original size of the aviary complex. This enabled me to start breeding in cabinets and thus start selective breeding of pairs and commence breeding exhibition style birds more seriously. (Although I had previously had a very good success rate with a technique I devised of forcing particular cocks and hens to pair up even in a colony aviary.) This setup existed for about two decades until I moved house and built the much larger purpose built setup mentioned below. I would be very interested to find out how you could force particular cocks and hens to pair up in a colony breeding set up... And whats a Stargazer, Faded, Dusk and a Polydactyl???

In my colony breeding article in the FAQ section I stated a method that assists pairing in colony breeding. Re the other rarer breeds try Ken Yorkes website link provided in the interview and see if theres anything there. If not email him for clarification or further articles for here

Stargazer = A bird with a nervous disorder which tends to find itself when perched looking up at the sky. I possibly have one here currently and I had them some years ago within the Faded variety. Faded = This is a trait where by the melanin content in all feather and tissue is reduced at the same level. I bred these birds before and when I can I will be taking them back up. Dusk = Very rare. Can't give you much information on them. Read What Ken has to say or go to the MUTAVI website. Inte Onsman has a little bit about them there. Polydactyl = An organisim with more than the orignal quota of digits i.e. toes, budgies have four but sometimes they can have five or more on one foot or both. Sometimes this is a spontanous mutation due to injury during meosis or it can be hereditary in nature.
