If you can pay to have it shipped, a fellow named Ponytail Joe, in Peachland, BC is a broker/importer. If he doesn't have what you want, he can often get them for you. Try contacting him:

Thanks,

I have dealt with him before.
We are working on it.
I need a cage bred or aviary bred hen.
The Australian imports are too nervouse.
Also my male is the "Parva" variety and i would prefer a hen of the same variety.
Parvas are the smallest of all the nine varieties.

Again Thank you!

I'm no parva expert but comparing the picture Bear posted to the pictures in Gostokom's album...I'd say its a parva, if thats what parva's look like.

Unless there are fake parva's running around that appear as a parva but are really something else? Like I said, I'm no expert, but it looks like the same type of bird thats represented in Gostokom's link unless I'm missing something important.

Anyways, he's purdy! I know a couple hens that would gladly be his gal, but unfortunately they're the wrong species :wink:

Hello, it is for that I asked him for more pictures of his EG, we can't tell by one picture, you agree?

I think if he doesn’t find a hen from the same subspecies, he can use another one and work on it, he can fix his subspecies after the fourth generation...a long work!!!

Here is a couple more pictures of "Willy" that is what I call him!!

I bought him as a Parva.
He was aviary bred and he sings great.
If i don't find another parva hen, i will use him to mule.
