Forbes Parrot Finch

Post by cwirick » Sun Feb 12, 2006 8:09 pm

Hello everyone......

I have introduced myself on the General protion of this forum, however I would like to take this time to ask anyone who uses this site if they know of any Forbes Parrot finch breeders that I can contact. I currently have 4 Forbes, 3 males and one female, and would like to find two more females for breeding purposes. I hope to make the Forbes more avaialable to finch lovers and collectors...............I currently house these Forbes in a community indoor avaiary that consists of a pair of Gouldians and a pair of Orange Cheeked Waxbills. Any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.

You might also want to try talking to Marc Riva (http://www.riva.ca/ParrotFinches/ or marc@riva.ca)

He doesn't sell any himself, but he is a huge parrot finch nut, so he may know who to refer you to. It's worth a shot if you don't find any other leads.

Good luck!

Chuck, you might also want to tell people where on this planet you are ... otherwise it's a little difficult to answer your question!
