I pretty much have raised a majority of the ones listed here and maybe some that haven’t been posted yet. I loved this time of year. The Wenas never sounded so good. My last mated pair was killed by a coon this last summer. I have torn down all but two pens. I’ve contemplated doing a couple mandarins in one of the pens and maybe some regular ones, in another.
I was also friends with the gentleman from walla walla that released them(he used to be a member on here) Many of them were birds from my place. Their downfall was they were so aggressive. They’d attack hunters and get shot. Throughout the years I’ve lost a couple birds out into,the Wenas. I had several live outside of my pens and survived for years. The one I just lost was a silver, that actually lived free for years, finally broke into the pen to fight the male in there and then stayed inside the pen.
