EISH! South African saying of exclamation and pity all in one. Your winters sound harsh! Sorry no takers here.
The bishops are about the size of a very large Gouldian or like a buff green singer. They are not that big, but have big personalities. I liked them because they were so small. I always expected them to be bigger in person. I see them often on the roads in the country and well never stopped to measure one so was surprised to see their size when I found these at a trader. No idea how old they are.
I would have loved to have bred them, but each year they lay multiple clutches and all are infertile even though they incubate well. So they have been deemed old, but still pretty.
@DanteD716 Yeah mostly I had many Parrot finches. Unfortunately I had a nasty virus come through my flock in Spring. Lost a lot of birds and there was no cure for it only management. Had to euthanasia most of my parrot finches (my younger breeding stock), my gloster canary and my old owl.
BUT I have many lovely bird friends that are helping me build stock back up.
I hope to get a male for my Gouldian, but he is a tad pricy to replace here, as I need a split blue or blue to pair her with. Lost him during quarantine. Cannot afford a mate for her right now, so may have to sell her on until I can reinvest in trying blues.
