Andyn 534 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I bought this Pied cock from Trago Mills Garden Parque last September, He has fathered 2 nice chicks with a Peter Cannan hen before Christmas and I have just paired him up to a Garden Centre Hen today. Biggish bird but not well marked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andyn 534 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 He has produced some nice chicks but not really very well marked. So I've been advised to put them to Whites or an overly white marked Pied next autumn. Andy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Gary, I bought a pair from a garden centre which sent me over to Zebies and the exhibition side. I think a striking Pied certainly catches the eye. Got to think about the future and increase size though. Oh! also I have tried to PM 3 members lately and all said that they couldn't accept new messages. Not sure if that means inbox full or there is a problem. Cheers Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clare I remember once telling a very senior Budgie Champion once that I'd seen some good birds in a garden centre and his reply was" If they take your eye you should buy them" so I applied that to the Pied Cock too.
