seeking close to me owl finch breeders

[EyesofFreedom]

Bob lol... I would feel like a bird scalper

Dante well I found someone on a facebook group that has a proven pair 1 and 1/2 years old for $150 and she is going to meet me next Saturday (on my birthday)

Is that a good price?

Plus I am trying to get her to include her 18x18x30 flight too

That's a pretty good price for a proven pair, Will. I payed $100 for two males. Maybe you can grab another pair from someone else so you have unrelated m/f pairs available for sale.

Ginene If I get this pair and then find another pair then I can breed them both and also pair up some offspring ;)

I am just stoked at the opportunity to have owls... I have been wanting some for a long time...

[Ginene]

I hear ya, Will. I am getting another pair in October. I'm getting 2 males again...1 fawn and 1 normal. I love the m/m pairs as there's no breeding drama and they can be housed with other species without getting territorial. Maybe down the line I will add 2 females...but initially I am going to breed only my society pair and penguin zebra pair. Suggestion...if I may...grab a fawn male next time around. They are so beautiful and not as available. I am buying mine from Sally's friend in Texas. She is shipping me the male owls and 2 male stars (1 yellow face & 1 red face). I'm also hoping for 2 male BCCB's from another of Sally's friends. Fingers crossed . My first bird mart id October 5th...I am buying my m/f green singer pair and m/f society pair from Martie. I am not sure what else will grab me there...maybe a waxbill pair??? Hubby is going to be PISSED!!!

Ginene lol I hear ya... I will have my zebs who are really good parents... gotta give them a break for the rest of the year though because I don't want to let them stress themselves out...

The lady I am buying these from was going to go to the bird fair in Indy next Sunday but lives like 2 hours away and was unsure... I talked her into meeting me the day before on her way elsewhere... it was going to be my first fair but getting owls on my birthday will be more exciting... plus I can go to the one in November I think it is...

So what does a fawn owl look like?

[Ginene]

Lol! Happy Birthday!!! Your 40th like me???? Or 39th...i forget. They are very pretty...fawn colored with all of the usual markings. You breed fawn and normal...not fawn and fawn. Anyway, it will give you an edge in the owl market, plus it will be exciting to see what the babies are! Google it to see pics. I have been without my birds for 1 month today...I'm DYING to buy more birds. I hope I don't make a scene tackling people at the October bird mart. I'm not making any promises...

[EyesofFreedom]

Ginene it will be 39

oh wait... lol

[Ginene]

Lucky...
