Bronze Phase Harris Hawks????

[Shaun Byrne]

Just been looking on the IBR classifieds and saw a "Bronze Phase" Harris Hawk for sale. Can someone please enlighten us???

[Gaz]

Maybe you can charge £100 more for um......by the way,this year we will be breeding special cadbury brown harrises,only £200 more than normals :twisted: :mrgreen:

[Afshimo]

I'd like to see an Albino harris hawk lol, look like a ghost then!

[Adam Barrett]

my young female harris has a lot of the rusty bronze colour in her more so than any other harris i have seen not just on her wings but speckled all down her back-maybe this is what they ment but i have never heard of that?! :?

[Shaun Byrne]

Me neither Baywing, in fact I would go as far as to say there is no such thing!
Anyone got a Grey Phase Gos for sale???
Or a light Phase White Gyr??
Maybe a brown Phase Tawney owl?? lmao!!

[ChicM]

To be honest 've been wondering why there are no really distinct colour variations being bred in BOP (or maybe I'm just showing my ignorance!)

After all, we've been breeding colour variations in cage birds for decades (canaries, budgies, gouldians etc) with no real damage to the fitness or health of the birds in most cases. Be interesting to see a lutino Harris or Red tail!

[Adam Barrett]

should of emailed the guy and asked him for a picture of it?
My money is on it being a bog standerd harris OR it belongs to someone that knows squat and its a immy harris :lol:

[ChicM]

I wonder too what would happen if you were to add carophyl red or yellow to the food duing the moult?

Don't get mad at me guys - just musing!

Might give us some interesting outcomes tho...

[Wightwings]

Your an old Red Factor boy as well then.............
I guess it would be pretty interesting on a white Gos....

Lucky.

Why not just dip it in food colouring.......
A friend of mine does it all the time with his white doves......

i can hear the wee wheels in you head turning all the way down here in airdrie chic :shock: ...................lol

[ChicM]

God - I'm getting predictable! Time to find another forum...!

So Lucky - you know about the old Red Factors too then?

I got one still in the aviary but I don't feed it colour food anymore and it's bright yellow now. Pretty whistler...

[BrianM]

chic i remember being in a pet shop in west caulder some years ago,, just moochin about when i overheard the owner telling a very excited woman that she could have a canary that when she changed her wallpaper she could buy a dye to change the bird to match,,,lol,,, my father in law stepped in and told the guy what was what and who was who,, and we were asked to leave,,,, never been asked to leave a petshop before ,,,,,,now i have been asked to leave a post office,,,,but thats a different thread lol

[ChicM]

The Post Office issue sounds much more interesting...you didn't have a pair of tights over yer head did you? :D

I think I know that pet shop actually - the guy was a bit of a chancer if it's the same one. I went in once and he had just got a shipment of parrots and softbills. The birds were riddled with mite and I helped him delouse them. He just sprayed them and stuck them out on show for sale. Some folk...

[BrianM]

the guys name rymed with dive, think hes dead now.......

[ChicM]

Seriously? The mites get him an' all then?

[BrianM]

Here's a link to pics of white red-tails...if you follow my meaning...

Cute.

Despite what they say, they're not albino - no pink eyes - so white seems to be a valid genetic colour in them.

[LanczSpringer]

See my pics in the pic thread!

albino or is it just white? no pink eyes? ;-)

I would say albino!

[Hosehead]

Wes, is that an adult Krieders Redtail? One of our club members trapped a male passage that he's trying to hunt. They're great looking but I haven't heard much about how well they hunt. We have a few around here and sometime I might try trapping one. Kurt

[Shaun Byrne]

WOW!!!

[ChicM]

Pretty birds.

sounds like a breeders gimmick to charge more for a bird!

[Kornie]

Hi HH: I'm not sure. C and I spoke about some light colored R/T's I've been watching up at the lake and he trapped this one 75 miles east of me two weeks later. He sent the pics to rub it in. :cry: I'll check with C and find out more details or pm me for them.
