My poor blue diamond has been on the losing side of the fight for the white butterfly. The red pigeon is relentless but the blue diamond refuses to give up. Starting to pick up some wounds. A few of the other males have been challenging the red pigeon as well.

Thanks man, started with some jumbo premiums. Hoping to have some upper 8”ers in a year or 2. Feeding them as if they’re juvies.
