i have a cinnamon pearl whiteface hen and i have a friend who is going to give me a cinnamon whiteface cock....
i wanted to breed them, but people have told me you shouldnt breed visual whiteface to visual whiteface, as it results in small birds... you should only breed a visual to a spit?
is this true?
this sucks because i am a tad mental and i dislike the colour orange... i dont particularly like the colour yellow either...
any answers?
i dont really see the big issue with small birds anyway, i get the whole, not wanting to reduce the species by bad human selection, but i live in australia and i once found a wild cockatiel with a broken wing, i put it in a metre(3-4foot) square cage my grandparents had on our verandah and left the big door open, it took about 3 months for the tiel to get better, i gave it food and water, but never touched it (it was very wild) then one day it just flew out the door, sat on my gate post for about 5 mins, then a flock of tiels flew overhead and it rejoined them (the tiel used to come back every so often to sit on the gate post and look at us),
now this bird was a **** of a lot smaller than my cinnamon hen, so if both whitefaces were a 'larger than wild' bird anyway... what would be the issue if they had 'smaller than them' babys?
