Heya

Here are my latest additions. I drove for 6 hours to get the Pied Cordons, but once I got them I knew they were worth the lovely day out driving in the sunshine.

Also got a 2nd pair of Orange breasts, I couldn't resist them they are just so pretty.

Here they are

Very pretty birds.

They are beautiful congrats.

Now that's an interesting cordon.
Love those gold breasts!
Congratulations and best of luck

Super cool. Can't believe the pied Cordon

Your male RCCB looks great.

Wow! Those guys look awesome. Congrats

Very beautiful looking birds!

I love the pied red cheeks!!! They look amazing. I wish we had them in the US.
Congrats!

Hold up.... I think....I just got........jealous

Never seen anything like it - very nice! Congrats! Bob

Great cock bird Mands ,plenty of live food,Cordons are breeding at the moment

Sorry everyone. I never got notified that i had any replies.

Thanks to all for compliments. I think the Pied cock bird is stunning. When i seen him (I had 3 pair to choose from) I was like "That's the one - he's mine!!"

I cant wait to breed from him. I have just been told how to breed live food (Meal worms) as they are so expensive to buy, around $11.50 for a small tub and they are usually half dead. Once i can get the live food under control i will be putting my 2 pair of Cordons out to breed along with the Pied African Fires and the normal AF who also love the live food.

You will see in another post i just got a new aviary for Christmas so the plan is to put them out there, well one pair at a time so they don't nest hop. I still plan on using my flight cages inside for other needs.

PS> Not forgetting the pretty little Orange Breasted Waxbills. I just love them, but boy are they fast, you can hardly see them, now i have two pair they are easier to see, i think you need at least 3 pair of them to make a presence.
