Hi Terri,
I am in St Louis MO. The only strawberries I know of around
here are novice owners who don't realize what they have except
pretty little birds that they won't give up. I thought I had
two green strawberry hens and two male reds, but when I put
them all in my new aviary 8'wx7'dx8'tall the two sets split
appart and are now acting like prs. I hope that they will
mate. I know that greens and reds can't breed successfully,
at least thats what I read, but they sure are acting like they
want to nest since Monday. I can only hope. I will keep you
posted. Please feel free to email me if you would like. It's
always nice to keep in touch with other breeders of a feather
so to speak.
Beth
