Hello all,

For anyone interested in breeding the above mentioned, Dorset Birds have 4 cocks and 8 hens available, one of the cocks is unusual in having a yellow beak the same as the hens.

I realise this species has never had a huge following, but I was told only last week that there is a Continental breeder who has a 90 strong colony of these birds,:shock: now that would require one hell of an aviary huh?:D

hi paul/matt
when my daughter got my zebs on sunday she said there was a few pairs of redbills in the place where she got them from .she said they were asking £15 pair so i can only assume that they were all the same sex as they seemed cheap to me i was going to take a look but as paul says they are not very popular unless you have a decent colony

Hi Chris,

I think they are £25pr I will find out if that is the definate price for you, also if you were interested in buying all of them I'm sure you could come to some agreement with Alan.:grin:
