Thanks, those are some beautiful birds. The Calico is gorgeous. The 3rd. link that Mike provided has 4th. generation Catalina Hybrids, lots of orange and yellow.

This seems like a good time for JR or Gary to put up a pic of their Milicinth, Maxie. I've never met her, but from the pix I've seen of her, she's the most beautiful bird I've ever seen.......

Please, guys? Share a pic of Maxie?
