'SR 2328' is medium-small to small in the hand with a mostly strong back, tight vents, silky soft feather (top feather quality), great wing vibration with nice spacing to the flights. She has several good qualities but overall she is more of a B to B+ in the hand as opposed to some of the other birds I have handled at Sierra Ranch. Not as well muscled as some others. This is not uncommon for the '1755' Children (some are just average in the hand). She is highly alert and does show some beak pull response. She has pearl eyes. (See Youtube Video for Notes)
She is for sale as part of the late Steve Sterchi (Sierra Ranch's) Estate Sale for some of his top breeders. My friend Steve passed away last fall and I (Matt Hans) am listing some of the top birds here on Ipigeon for his wife Kim. Proceeds from auction go to Steve's wife Kim.
