My photo
I keep and breed a small number of Australian grass parakeets. This blog provides information and pictures of my birds and a log of their breeding activities. It is also a photo blog of landscapes and wildlife. My dog Buster may also make an appearance. For Nest Box Live - click the link above or visit my website!

Which to keep?

I need to start thinking about getting another turquoisine hen. I have four cocks and only two hens. I intend to sell or swap one of the young cocks....
The red fronted cinnamon I bred last year

or the yellow cock ( that was bought as a hen)

The cinnamon has the best colour potential being full red fronted and split for yellow opaline, but the yellow is very lively and looks good in the aviary.
