This is by no means rubbishing anyone, but with the amount of information on the internet & in bird books, people still are inbreeding. Had a lady & her daughter knock on my door looking for a male cockatiel, they had 9 females spare. After talking for sometime they told me very proudly they only started off with the one pair. I tried to explain that this is not a good practice & why & that they should sell off what extras they had & get new blood. But all my good advice kind of fell on deaf ears, they both just smiled nicely at me & couldn't get out of my place fast enough. This kind of practice makes my blood pressure rise.  |

That is sooo frustrating! There are so many people breeding birds who just do not want to learn. Poor little birds.

It is not just cockatiels either. I had someone ring me the other day asking about one of my males (both older ones have been sold)........I realised who he is and asked "isn't your girl a vos?" ........ he didn't know (he is only a teenager) and I said my "boys are sold, (only have Mikey left)" but my birds are Red sided and probably should not be put a Vos. I don't know I keep doing myself out of sales.  My honestly is starting to disturb me lol Well it is not inbreeding I am talking about.........but still not really appropriate breeding. |

Some times inbreeding is good. But a lot of people (almost everyone) doesn't know how to use it.
All species in the word begin from inbreeding (including men)so by selection you have what you want. but make inbreeding only to economize that is not good.
