FINCHforum

This might be a bit of a long shot since I don't think there are many folks here from Utah, but! It's worth the post probably.

I'm in search of a couple of male zebra finches, preferably young but of breeding age.

I'm interested in just about any and every fancy mutation with the exception of pied, since I have several pied hens.

I only need one or two little males, but around here it's weirdly difficult to find the fancier mutations, either from breeders or pet stores. So I figured I'd put out feelers around here before I start really trying to hunt down some pet store finches.

I'm in Northern Utah, the Salt Lake City area. I don't think I can PM anyone yet since I'm still a new member, but maybe by the time that becomes important I'll have enough posts around here to become a full member

I know bird world in bountiful just north of you always has some zebras

There is a guy about an hour south of salt lake that has black cheeks and he might have some Florida fancied As well

I actually frequent Bird World for almost all of my bird supplies, and I'm always checking in their little beans. Unfortunately last time I went they really only had a bunch of black cheeks, which I'm not particularly after at this point. I'm planning on paying another visit later this week to see if they have any new ones.

@chrismurdoch3 does he have a website or anything? I check KSL a lot but I rarely see people advertising finches.

Being new to the board I don't know all that has been said around here about Birdworld in Bountiful, But from internet searches it looks like it has closed down in 2016. I was able to visit this store only a few times as it was 90 miles away but I sure enjoyed each time I went. I don't know of any others except the usual Petsmart type stores.

Yes unfortunately it did close down a few months back. There doesn't seem to be many places in Utah anymore that have a good collection of birds.
