I agree! CRISP and clear! Beautiful.

Boy...when you see the beaks on the babies...they really look like nut-crackers, don't they?

Thanks everyone! That guy is breeding for 20 years now, so he is VERY experienced and dedicated for sure. It was wonderful to see all the birds. Of course he is very selective with this... to let people see all his birds. And Kim, youre welcome.. it is a good address! Image
