...more. I currently have 23 babies with more on the way. Hoping to get to 50 babies this year. Nothing crazy. Hope to double by next year.

Candice, he's a beautiful bird. Does he have cobalt in him? I tend to shy away from shipping but I have good friends to help me through that process so the little ones make it. If you are interested in any email me and let me know.

Thanks Blake... I don't know about the colbalt... I know he has blue.. I don't know all the mutaions of the blues... but I love him.
Maybe you can disclose some information..... I bought him at the fair from a vendor that sells this breeders birds but does not rear them herself. So I really don't have the background details on him... could you maybe clue me in on these mutation colors? Here are a few pictures.. Thanks and I will be in touch with you via email :D
