Thanks
Hello. I enjoy this breed, although a bit skittish they are now eating out of my hand now. their plumage is exceptional. Thank you.

Stunningly Beautiful
I LOVE these birds. They have proven to be heat, cold, and predator resistant. The last is especially important because I free range all my birds. These are very skidding birds, which is the reason why out of the many breeds I have, I have never lost a Phoenix to predation.
