Cheers An old traveller near me was telling me years ago when a was telling him I'm going to buy some glosters for muling. He told me straight don't go buying them. They can't see really good when it comes to feeding with the bonnet they've got eyes covered up. Your better off with a roller or Timbrado or Irish. Just depending on what mule. Your wanting. If it's a smaller native bird your putting over canary then Irish or razza. If it's something like a greeny or crossbill then roller or timbrado that little bit bigger. A like to look at the body structure of the native too and the canaries. Look for something similar built mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,966 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Goldie mule off a gloster and if I remember rightly the linnet was too. Personally I thought they were nice mules with a decent shape to them but having bred crested mules I wouldn't again so I'd use consort hens not corona. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There not kept in there I’d just picked them up only a cruel c**t would keep birds like that. Be like been keep in a prison cell and if you’ve been there you wouldn’t do it to a animal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But me personally think there right ugly little fuckers glosters lol. How someone came up with a canary like that is beyond me. Same with most canaries with caps and budgies a don't see the point. And them leggy things with feathers all over deformed to f**k. And you'll get idiots paying top money for the c**ts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lad who's got the birds knows his stuff about birds. I've bought some bully's off him in the past & he had a decent set up at his home. Did well with the few pairs he had. Only thing a could say about him. He goes through diffrent hobbys like changing underwear. Each day something new Quote Link to post Share on other sites
