Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Zek; If ye have no luck with the House Sparrows, let me know. Old mate of mine, Dale from Bristol, breeds them. Last I heard he was producing Cinnamons and all sorts. If need be, I'll try to get hold of him and see if he's still alive and doing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DUCKWING 302 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 WELL LADS MAYBE DUE TO THE AVAIRYS BEING SMALL ? ........... OVER THE YEARS HES BRED HUNDREDS OF CHAFFIES IN THIS MANNER MAINLY FROM SINGING STOCK ORIGINALLY FROM BELGIUM , MAYBE ANOTHER REASON ? ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
