Merauke, Indonesian similarities and differences
Ok, so most of you know I had a baby merauke before my current indo and I am looking into expanding my collection( shhh,don't tell my mom haha). I loved the baby merauke, beautiful colours. So I would definantly look into getting a captive breed northern, just becuse they are so different from indos, and I was also thinking a captive breed merauke. Are meraukes very different from indos?

Re: Merauke, Indonesian similarities and differences
They are very similar.
You cant find pattern similarities here:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=20330
Physically Meraukes are a little bit larger.
And you are more likely to find a cbb Merauke than Indo. Although cbb Meraukes are rare.

Re: Merauke, Indonesian similarities and differences
I personally think Meraukes are prettier than the typical Indonesians, but Halmahera Indonesians are just so mesmerizing.
