I couldn't resist taking another nice photo of my belt man, he turned out to be a killer last year, but now he can't make a choice between the two dolls.
Last year I bought two pairs from a breeder friend in Beuningen, I think four very beautiful birds and that became apparent when the first youngsters were roosting.
One of the couples made two laps, resulting in nine beautiful youngsters. Because the female is a cream ino, all males appear wild in color but inherit split for cream ino.
All youngsters sold this year only a wasted male retained to form a third couple with an overage female. This year I expect to get a nice number of belts again.
