new arrivals!

Post by lonchura_boi » Mon Mar 03, 2014 3:52 am

took a trip to the stafford show yesterday, had no idea it was going to be so big or busy! had a list of what i wanted and came back with about half of my list. came home with a pair of cutthroats, which i have not had for about 14 years so very pleased to have them, and a pair of mollucan mannikins which are a new one for me and they are just lovely. i was also looking for yellow bishops but the closest i saw were napoleon weavers and they were out of colour so no idea if they were male and female of both same gender so decided not to this time. i also saw for the first time in many many years indian silver bills, and lots of them at that. I'm now kicking myself for not getting a pair!

This thread is 5 years old, and it doesn't look like lonchura-boi is on here any more.
