Nazza's red heads are a high standard, and I have not seen it achieved on our side of the pond. Selective breeding has probably enhanced the redness some of us desire. Caution on selective breeding however, as non-favorable genes may also be enhanced in our quest for subjective standards of beauty. I try to breed the most vigorous and agressive hatchlings, retaining them for breeders, and if they happen to have the most red, even better but not necessarily the highest priority. I never met an Indigo I did not like, but I too favor red heads, but even more I favor genetically diverse and vigorous breeding stock, which may slow down the selective process to achieve more and more red. Good luck on your search, and we would all be happy to see Indigos in the U.S. that rival those Nazza produced.
