  18. a birds breastbone should be like a tegel chicken, lots of meat either side if it is like a yatch keel do not purchase sress is the biggest killer of birds, they use up their vitamin b's and go into paralysis remember birds have a high metabolism and can go from being well to dead in as little as 4 hours barbary doves are pretty tough usually sorry you had to go through this, but a lesson may have been learnt for the future like fish you should try a quarantine period
  19. sometimes first time spawning is a learning curve for the fish and they may expel eggs early next time may produce a longer hold and fry
