fireman 10,940 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Not kept them myself but on the wish list for sure and have spoken to a few keepers of them and bullies are harder to keep and breed,the worse thing i was told is they will take good sized chunks out of your hands when you handle them as they can crack a cherry stone with that bill.
