Black Whydah

Post by Randy Chappelle » Wed Nov 29, 2006 5:01 pm

Hello all. I am including a picture of Zoe, our beautiful Black Whydah. We have had Zoe with us for around 4 1/2 years, and I have been able to find out very liitle about him. I am beginning to think that perhaps he is a different breed altogether, due to the lack of information. If anyone out there recognizes Zoe, and can provide any information, we would be eternally grateful. One pictue shows a black Zoe in his normal state (we think). We have another picture as he appears right now (the brown an black). Thank you in advance for your information and comments.
