ISO-White Headed Mannikans/Munias/Nuns in Texas

Post by slwatson » Thu Mar 03, 2016 3:37 pm

They are incredibly hard to find, so I'm looking for anyone in Texas who have some, or do you know of a place who has them and can ship?

We never see the over here either.
Another interesting species, is the Scaly Breasted Munias. Just saw a picture of them on Google somewhere, and found them to be quite attractive.

They're both very pretty birds. I think I like the white headed munias because they remind me of little bald eagles, with those white heads and brown bodies. The funny thing about the scaly breasted munias is that the Petco in my town has a big picture of one in their bird section, but they've never had any for sale!

So many beautiful birds in our big world...... I guess some of them we only get to admire in pictures, sigh....

Colt Yes, he has them, but he is keeping most of them for his own breeding program, and what he will sell is very expensive. Understandable, since they are so rare.
3 Purple Grenadiers, 1 Goldbreast + 1 cat.

I keep jokingly asking my husband for that adult pair you mentioned, and he just laughs! I would love to have a pair though...they're beautiful!
