 EK> Okay. I certainly go along with that. Do you agree, then, that line
 EK> breeding and/or inbreeding should not be considered, especially if the
 EK> species is fairly easy to come by?
Huummmmm? When I think of all the mutations out there I realize that there is 
a LOT of line/inbreeding going on for it is hard to get mutations without 
breeding back into the same family that the mutated gene came from.
Let's put it this way. I can only operate my own breeding program, and it has 
never called for line breeding or inbreeding. I have looked long and hard to 
get pairs that were unrelated so the I would have a decent gene pool within 
my 
own breding program. 
So, I can only say that I do not consider inbreeding/line breeding...even 
when 
I had cockatiels and lovebirds.
