I’ve heard the same over the years. I haven’t taken much notice of it though. I’ve had ones with tails that go up, ones that fall down and ones that stay straight. I’m not overly keen when they go up but wouldn’t condemn one because of it. I would still test them the same as any others. As you say Steve I can’t see how the back or tail can have any barring on flight.

Andy have not heard you mention the lilac eye have you ever seen one

I think what you’re referring to as lilac George is probably the recessive violet. This appears more violet than the dominant violet which is almost white. The recessive violet’s don’t breed as well as the dominant ones.

Andy i can't find a photo of the lilac eye do you have one

not sure what this is

This is another violet. What I don’t like about this one is the inner circle looks very broken. Other bits of the eyesign I do like though.

that's disappointing Andy i thought it was ok

For George a link for you.
