About the talk:
About 18 years ago, Dr. Achim Zedler found increasing numbers of birds with colour aberrations, and asked himself what caused these variations. Could it be environment or genetic reasons, or something else? He became acquainted with Hein van Grouw, a Dutch curator and breeder, who has done research on colour aberrations of birds. Dr. Zedler further developed the classifications discovered by Va Grouw, and introduced them to German ornithologist literature starting in 2005.
