How much you paid for this burundi?

I am growing out mine from 2", most of them are close to 4.5 - 5 after 6months. will have to wait 2-3 years before the kok will develop.

Zaire will have a triangular mask starting fro the forehead with one corner of the triangle ending at the eyes. Ususally will not see any black mask passing the eyes and on the cheek.
thanks nick. really informative.

I do mind, bro!
It keeps on distracting my focus on the Mpimbwe.
