That is quite a drive for a lady on her own. I had to convert it to km to get a sense of the distance. 910.9 km! Mami, you obviously charmed the socks off this poor breeder. He practically gave the stuff away. Beautiful birds.

lovepoodle You will have to post a photo of yourself as well, that I can understand how you managed to charm the man into such giveaways. :lol: Maybe you have hidden talents and can set yourself up as a bird-trader. =D>

I'll bet the breeder figured that anyone willing to drive that distance was a serious bird keeper and would take good care of his babies.

Sorry for took so long to reply... I couldn't comment from my phone!! It says Error all the time... Anyway, it's a hidden story in this deal. Sally you might remember a parrot finch breeder in southern California " Albert". He was active in this forum a few years back. He is the one gave me a info for this breeder in California. It's almost impossible to find grasskeets breeder in Las Vegas.... And He called up a breeder and told him " Take good care of her, she is my friend". Breeder told me when I was up there.. Im telling you, Almost all people in my finch circle are from FINCHE FORUM here...we are not active commenter any more but still help each other.. Big THANKs to this forum :D
