Owl Finches

Post by gailj » Thu Feb 13, 2014 8:49 pm

Hi everyone,
I am looking to get a pair of owl finches. I live in Frederick County Maryland. I could travel up to 50 miles. Thank you. Gail

Too bad you're not near Texas as I have about six owl finches for sale. LOL.

Sucks you are not near Houston because I would love a pair!

Good luck with your search Gail.

A shame we can't get any Owl finches here in the Chicago area. Only way to get most finches is to have them shipped. :(

Our mart will be in Cleburne on May 17, and Deborah has a table there. There will be other finch vendors as well. If you go to Austin, then drive straight up I35, Cleburne is on Highway 67, west of I35W. Great day trip, Joshua! Sorry for the hijack, gailj.

Thank you Sally! I will have this on my calendar. This is only a 4 hour drive. Where can I get more info on vendors and pricing?

Gail, I believe Nixity still has some owls available in Pasadena. I'm going this weekend to pick up a pair. Also, this is a hike, but I'm pretty sure Stewart's Bird Farm in PA has owls at I think $60 a piece. I made the trip up there today for a pair of red factor canaries but he ended up being sold out of red factor makes so I picked up a pair of shaft tails and a pair of cinnamon Javas instead. It's a really cool place. I'd heard mixed reviews about it but it was SUPER clean and the birds all seemed healthy. You could also call Murad at MD Exotic Birds. He doesn't have owls right now but his stock seems to change on the reg and if you call him you could ask him to call uou if he gets some in.
