General Information
These birds are not for the beginner fancier as they are very wild and need more space than other breeds. They thrive on a mixture of game ration and mixed grains. I give my birds greens from the yard on a daily basis to supplement their diet. High perches and plenty of cover are the recipe to success with this species.
Below is a close up shot of the magnificent feathering that is developing on my 2006 hatch Sonnerats cock. He is already quite breathtaking so I can't wait to see how he turns out next year.
