Looking for a pair of strawberry finch in North Florida

Strawberry finches have become hard to find once again. There are some people in Florida working with them, so hopefully they will be available soon. You do have quite a few marts in Florida, they are often a good place to find birds that aren't readily available.

Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier for members to answer locale-specific questions later on.

I'm really interested in getting a pair as well...seems next to impossible

Where are the Bird Marts in Fla? Is there a website?

[Sally]

Lindam0818 I post them on the calendar here in the forum as I hear about them. I haven't had time to sit down and do the whole year at once, so I've been posting one month at a time. There is a mart in Jacksonville May 29 and one in Tampa June 25 and 26. Where are you located?

Thanks

I bought my first pair at a bird fair today in Pascagoula, LA. The guy I bought them from still had a pair and he breeds them. http://www.flyingdutchmancanaries.com/

Says on his site that he ships USPS Express Mail or Delta Airlines. Though he may have sold the other pair he had.

I'm still looking for a pair of strawberry finch. Does anyone know if the show Nov 5 in Jacksonville will have anyone attending with strawberries for sale?

I have no idea if any vendor in Jacksonville would have Strawberries. They are getting really hard to find again, so I would guess that if any vendor did have them, they would sell quickly. At marts, it is always best to be at the doors when they open, as the best birds go first.

If you can contact the people who put on the mart, they may be able to give you contact information on the various vendors, so you could see if any of them would have Strawberries.
