Jarred,i have been breeding eastern rosella's for about twenty years,they are a great bird.i mainly breed lutino mutations. but last year bought a possible tripple split cock (lutino/cinnamon/red). i put this to a lutino hen,only one young that year a red hen,this hen i have put in with a lutino cock as this will give split red and lutino cocks and lutino hens.my aim is to one day breed rubino's.keep your eye on the pale head cock for aggression,i had a pair before and the cock was very aggresive and i've heard it's quite common with them.at work we regulary see cinnamon hens so there must be a wild split cock here.
