Any Finch breeders in MN?

Post by Friar_Tuck » Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:46 am

Ok, I now realize that hoping for any breeders in northern MN was hoping for too much.
Are there any breeders in the state?
I can drive the 300 miles to the twin cities if I have to to find some good birds.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim....I too live in Minnesota. :D

I have purchased birds from Zippy's Finch Nest in the past. Laurie is a very responsible breeder and she has nice birds.

There is also a bird fair in Stillwater MN every couple of months. Here is the link to their fair schedule. I hope to get there this year myself. It would be a good place to find some good breeders.
