gnasher16 29,624 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Pmsl. Socks, and you call me a nutter ffs pmsl. Gnasher I bought him from a fella round the corner from the ground. Had him about a month now. Lovely little bird he is. Was wondering what should I try and pair him with? No socks not a feckin pigeon. I fear your eyes are too big for your belly and you,ll be needing even more sheds up in the coming months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only 12 birds at present with 6 more birds to come. So I will have enough space if I do any good in the breeding season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Redpoll x bullie is the best coloured for me, and is always a bit special, very difficult to breed, and the next best if the goldfinch x redpoll 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't seem to find any that are not a million miles away. i find bullies very scarce these days compared to say ten years ago .its not an every day thing now to see em in numbers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,476 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hello brookie This last year has been scarce for bully hens and god knows why. I don't know to much about the singing of mules and hybrids. I just like colourfull looking birds. That's all im after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,476 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 The crossing of a said pair. I would pair them up around now and keep them as a pair. Usually have a better chance I find that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omanyra 2,518 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 My plan was always to get them paired up as soon as possible, before the Christmas But, I've also stuck a pair together at the last minute just because I've ended up with a couple of spare birds for whatever reason, and got results Get bully hens paired up early and they will bond just as much as they do when paired up true When the breeding season comes get the pair fit All mules and hybrids are good singers but canary mules take some beating and a goldie x greenie which are easy to breed will bring the house down, and colour fed are really attractive and will breed in small flights or big cages Quote Link to post Share on other sites
