It's NOT a MosaicI've seen lots of threads on this forum lately where people claim that their almond is a mosaic. You know the kind I'm talking about... the almonds that have one dark ("kite") wing. It has really bothered me because I have produced three such birds and I know that they are NOT mosaics, just poorly colored almonds, because you can easily recreate it. Well I have spoken with several other fanciers who breed almonds and they all agree. In fact, one member of this forum is trying to breed an almond with a kite shield. He has gotten really very close to it and I am hoping that he will send me a picture or two to share with you guys. Any other thoughts or feelings on this subject? I hope he doesn't mind but I will share a picture of a TRUE mosaic bird off my friend's website...
