      For about 30 years ago one of the more commonly kept softbills which could be found even in the smaller pet-shops, now a big rarity in captivity ! I tried to find them on my last visit at the Bush - without succes :(.
      Do you know howmany there are living in the Bush and if they still are breeding them ?
      BTW nice picture !

      Thanks Vogelcommando!:)
      Sadly there's just this one bird left, so they won't be breeding anymore I'm afraid.:( I've seen him just 3 times in almost 30 visits over the last 3 years, so you have to be really lucky!
