Try your luck on there. They do shipping, so that should be helpful.
http://www.birdsnow.com/
Try that link as well.

Re: Finches wanted!
Many of the finch breeders in Miami, FL will ship. Look some of them up on Birds Now, if they don't carry all you want, they may know someone and can combine shipping together. You never know. Best of Luck.

Re: Finches wanted!
Hi Charles. Look @ http://www.birdtrader.co.za for birds for sale in South Africa. You will pay the earth for birds from Europe and the USA. If you buy from a guy in Natal it will cost you about R300 extra for the cage and the airfreight. You will find plenty of breeders in Bloem and Bethlehem that advertises on birdtrader.

Re: Finches wanted!
We actually have members on the forum from South Africa. You might get lucky finding birds from them. Is it possible to change your thread topic to Zebra Finches Wanted in South Africa? It might catch their attention

Re: Finches wanted!
I'll change the title to show that Charles is looking for finches in South Africa, that might help a bit.

Hi Charles,
Welcome to the site! Bird Trader and Avizandum are your best bet. Even Gumtree sometimes. There is a great breeder in Bloem who I purchased my BB Cordon Bleu's from. He has a huge selection of birds available.
(Contact info sent to Charles via PM.)
Good luck!

Maybe if Charles has the info, a moderator could take out their contact details... not too sure if I would be happy having my contact posted on the net for all time.

Good point. I have removed the information from the post and sent it via PM to Charles. It is always better to send phone numbers and/or email addresses via PM, unless we have permission to post them on a public forum.

Re: Finches wanted! South Africa
Sally. Could you please delete the post I posted for Charles with the breeders info as well. I didn't think. I now realize that I was actually invading these people's privacy.
Sorry about that. Marius

Re: Finches wanted! South Africa
MariusStegmann Thanks for pointing that out to me, I must have been half asleep this morning. I sent your info on to Charles, then realized that I deleted Roxanne's info and forgot to forward it to Charles.
I need to make sure I have at least one cup of coffee before I get on the forum!
