For the Strawberries, they are native to that area (Pakistan, India), and it is legal to keep them there, so they are very inexpensive. For you in Europe, and for us in the U.S. (and Canada), Asian imports have stopped, so we can only hope to find some.

You will notice that the prices on Australian species (Stars, Goulds, Shaft-tails) are quite a bit higher than the others--that is because Australia has banned exports of wild-caughts of these species.

I purchased a pair of gold-breasted waxbills from a local store here for $65 (price for the pair). I've never seen them for sale anywhere else in the area, so I have no way to compare prices on them (unless I look at online prices). It didn't seem like a bad deal though.
