My finds today from a bird fair :)

Post by ashgate » Sun Mar 25, 2012 3:05 pm

Today from the bird fair in Joliet, IL I brought home a Male White dark eye Society Finch.... he sings nice and is pretty. Also they had the 30x18x18 cages with the pull out wires above the pull out tray... been wanting to get one of these for a while and the price was right... plus I always think its good to have a spare cage on hand.

tomorrow I will post some pictures of him :)

I have seen them for 40 here, so you got a good deal. The pearls are also something I am looking into

Have you gone to the show each month that they have in Rolling Meadows? It has about 45 - 50 tables at that one. :)

Thanks everyone, he is beautiful and has accepted all the different types of food that I have offered so far. :)
