Long crowers: Same group of imports as the Ohiki in 2002 from Switzerland - Denizli and Tomaru. The Tomaru are doing well. The Denizli were slow to go at first, but seem to be acclimating to their new environment now. Even the pures are going strong now and the most recent generations are hatching and surviving well. In late 2004 I asked David Rogers, of Megumi Aviary, to take over the Tomaru project due to my need to prioritize for space. He accepted the offer and is currently working on this breed. I have one remaining pair that I am working with as time and space allow. - Toni-Marie |
