Thanks Pip, from previous discussions I thought we had a Japanese copy, probably because of the different colours it has been painted.  As you all know Kooka's are "my thing", see them, buy them, pay up, and worry about their "parentage" later, so long as they are not "butt ugly" and the price is what I can afford at the time, then I will have them.

Will be interested to have a good look and feel of the beak when I finally find him and get him unpacked again.  At present  I have no idea where any of the kookas are.
