After 69 years of the greatest pleasure of Breeding and Showing Budgerigars, it is with real regret that a recent diagnosis of asbestosis inhaled over 40 years ago, has left me with no option at but to step back from this great hobby with all the contributions I have made to its betterment both at home and internationally. All fanciers will be relieved that what I had thought was feather dust infection has been totally denied by the Specialists involved.
As a result of this setback, the BA23 Stud is up for Sale with immediate effect, all at reasonable prices depending on quality. It comprises two serious bloodlines, namely Jo Mannes and Daniel Lutolf plus outcrosses from the Don Havenhand Stud which was itself heavily Mannes based. Some years ago the Moffat Stud of Light Greens was also a contributory factor. So here is an opportunity for any serious breeders to get hold of quality outcrosses on a first come basis and each should consider casting an eye over a high quality stud into which so much effort and expense has been injected.
Today it is all about faces, and width of face as well as the three most difficult features of depth of mask, massive spots, size and showmanship. There is a range of quality as with any stud, but my breeding team for 2015 is included – and this hurts—”have to be sold without exception.
All that anyone who is desirous of visiting needs to do, is to phone me any evening after 7.30 and I will help all concerned at all levels of experience.
