I've watched it twice and although it was enjoyable to watch there was the breeder who’s dialect I just could not follow...I complained to my sister who can understand him perfectly �?great, but she's met up with him often so it‘s easy for her...

I wish I could have had an Aviary as does he....Mr Vonk van Antwerpen and when I look at the list of subjects he spoke about ... dang it I need subtitles...lol

Anyway, getting to the mutations! It took only nine generations to get the all red bird CAG and they looked spectacular as did the white one's. (Early prints from the early 1800's show all white CAG's and the Red Factor's)... all of the generations had added red on the body and it seemed a total surprise when three chicks were full feathered red.

It seems as if those birds have been kept as pets even in Roman times... it's a wonder there are any left in the wild!

The vet, Dr Tommy Blunden had quite a bit to say on the plucker’s.. Blaming the caregivers who did not let the bird when weaning and in the early stages of it's life, learn to play alone. He vocalized all birds need free "time" daily away from humans and with other flock members (if there are others) if not alone time is important.

It also showed the SS procedure which takes next to no time and then the micro chipping again done in seconds. Avian vet was another criteria of importance, not a regular vet as they are not qualified to diagnose the exotic. And on and on…………�?.
