Is it possible to be triple crested...

Crest is a dominant trait and the best pairing for crest is a crest to a noncrest bird. Breeding two crest can make a real mess on the head. There are many type of crest and frill societies, some with combinations. On Hiary's site is a breif explanation of the types:

Part quoted
"There are several different frills: bonten, chiyoda, chunagon, dainagon, king society finch.... The bonten is a charming bird with a head crest (the "Beatles" haircut). Chiyoda refers to a bird with a breast frill, while chunagon refers to a neck frill. Dainagon is chiyoda + chunagon and they are highly priced, especially in the albino mutation. King is all frilled (head, breast and neck) and is not as an attractive bird (in my opinion). All of the frills are considered to be lethal dominant - you only need one bird with a frill to get frilled chicks. Albino is co-dominant, grey is recessive and pearl is a sex-linked mutation (males). Breeding birds with similar frills (bonten to bonten, chiyoda to chiyoda) is discouraged, but you can breed different frills together to create these combinations. On the right is a juvenile chiyoda still feathering up."

Oshtay that is quite the crest he has. I only have one double-crested myself right now but would love to get more. I think they are just the cutest hairdos!

Yes...thanks for the info Candace...I will have to read up on this myself....I find it very interesting.

Center bird on perch..This fawn and white hen is one of my favorite bonten chunagon birds.
She has a perfect full creast and a splendid dippity-doo down the neck click picture to enlarge

Love the cute crest Candace. The term Dippity-Doo I understand but not what Bonten and Chunagon meant until I looked it up. My bird brain just got a little smarter today.
