Zebraman 267 Report post Posted February 19, 2010 There is a bit of a debate on the colour of this bird. The picture was taken in very low light level and the lens used was quite slow in comparison. I have been studying this bird for a number of weeks, but I would like to put your thoughts to a poll. I’ll reveal the results in a week’s time. Many thanks,Gary.

scott cunningham 21 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks Hubb, That`s the reason i posted a pic of a Fawncheek hen for comparison.I`ve been breeding the Fawn/Greycheeked mutation since 2004 and knew straight away that it was a Greycheek not Fawncheek.Hoping to breed a few this year,as i didn`t manage to breed any last year Lost at least half dozen over the last 2 years,meaning that i`m now down to 4 cock birds,2 of each colour.So i`m really hoping i can breed some this year.Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
