It took awhile before it dawned on me that all I did was scramble the genes and duplicating the great bird from an unrelated pair could take a life time!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your contribution!<BR/><BR/>LindaLinda Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09453591933437696987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206760154173299151.post-57728587794938932892009-01-16T03:36:00.000-08:002009-01-16T03:36:00.000-08:00Hi Linda,Congratulations on the start of your blog...Hi Linda,<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the start of your blog, I'm sure that once word gets out, it will be a great success, just like your book "Canary Tales".<BR/><BR/>You are spot on in your comments about "non show birds" being needed in the breeding room. Or "stockbirds" as we Bordermen call them. As you say, these birds have at least one exaggerated feature, but must be good in other respects also, and of course be part of your linebred stud of birds.<BR/>Some of the most desirable features I like in a "stockbird" are exaggerated head, in terms of width and in neck separation. Birds that conform to type, but are larger than the norm, are also useful, but only if genetically linked to your own stock.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the blogging Linda!!Crumbly Moisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500159204469170921noreply@blogger.com
