Ep141 – Crossbreeding and the Recombination of Genes
I've always said that the Name Game is nothing more than the peddler's playground, and they use crossbreeding to keep the Name Game alive. If the cross works, then they say it was a great cross. If the cross fails, then they say, cross them again, and again, and again. Thinking they are combining the traits of multiple bloodlines, to get the best of all worlds, all they are really doing is mongrelizing the breed, but yet we still attach useless names to them. The scary thing about this is that these peddlers are no longer hiding in the shadows. They are out where everyone can see them. In fact, they have YouTube channels and videos, and pretend to provide information, but their true aim is to sell birds. In this episode we are going show why crossbreeding is not the answer, and creating a true stain is always the best approach. This is a show you do not want to miss!
