FULL INFO ABOUT PEARL SOCIETY FINCHES history of them

[Stuart whiting]

Interesting, I've never seen a pearl society finch here.

You'd really and truly love to be able to see em Dylan, there's actually a fair few of here in England, it's generally only the serious breeders and exhibitors that tend to have the Pearls

Does that mean I’m an amazing breeder then lol

Erm sorry but in a word no

Don't forget yer still a beginner and there'll be lots you'll need to learn but don't despair because you will get there

Stuart whiting wow harsh or not

Stuart whiting wow harsh or not

Fraza mate, it wasn't meant to be affensive, I'm just mearly speaking to what I would feel to be true,
it's barely been a year of bird keeping for you and like everything try to walk before you can run,

I generally classify someone with in excess of at least 10 years of bird keeping before I'd even really consider them to being marginally experienced

I've bred and exhibited British, mules, canaries and now also foreign for around 37 years and am still learning as we never stop learning but gain more and more experience as the years go by

Stuart whiting yeh ino I didn’t take it offensive I was joking

Also I know I’m a beginner and only had society’s and zebra finches and obvs ur the opposite 37 years proves it anyway do u think the cost of a grey pearl would be higher

Yea I would of generally thought so, most of the more unusual mutations normally are a bit more, in terms of bengalese I wouldn't of said loads more but maybe a few £'s more

[Fraza]

Stuart whiting Yep shud be better tho anyway have you ever used Spock to sell finches

[hanabi]

Fraza

really that’s crazy I have a really nice male and have been trying to breed him to get more pearls but having no luck after 6 clutches hopefully the 7th that’s hatching at the moment with new female might

Fraza, the Pearl mutation is sex-linked, so if your cock Society is a true Pearl then all female offspring will be Pearl. Are you saying after six clutches that you haven't had any hen offspring? Only cocks? Now that would be crazy

[Fraza]

hanabi no I’ve had males just haven’t had any come out identical to him they always vary out a white wing or come out a very light grey or without the v cross marking haha

I’ve only ever bred him with a light fawn but he’s now with a different one

[Stuart whiting]

Stuart whiting Yep shud be better tho anyway have you ever used Spock to sell finches

Erh ......what in erf is Spock ......lol

[Fraza]

Stuart whiting you never heard of it that’s suorisin it’s advertised everywhere it’s just a selling website like gumtree, sorta like eBay but you can sell animals on it

[Stuart whiting]

Stuart whiting you never heard of it that’s suorisin it’s advertised everywhere it’s just a selling website like gumtree, sorta like eBay but you can sell animals on it

Suorisin I think not Fraza, I'm presuming it's basically an animal / bird selling site, like gumtree then,

So you buy yer birds off of this Spock site like gumtree, eBay

Na Fraza I most definitely wouldn't buy any of my birds from sites like this, not unless yer mainly want rubish

My birds are in excess of £150 - £300 each and there'd be absolutely no way would I ever sell or buy birds on any websites like these, my birds are bought from or sold to from other well know softbill breeders that I've known for many years, I also get put onto other various experienced bird men from other good freinds and is how we make good reliable contacts with one another up and down the country, it's basically like one big family tree amongst ourselves

[Fraza]

Stuart whiting I never buy from these however just thinking of selling some of my society’s on there rather than a pet shop

Also it doesn’t mean birds are bad of here you could easily sell one of yours on there and it wouldn’t mean it’s a bad one just because it’s off a certain website rather than buying from contacts s

[Fraza]

Contacts or someone you know I agree I wouldn’t buy birds from there off anyone but you can get some genuine people

[Stuart whiting]

Fraza

I suppose it's useful to sell birds but I'd definitely not buy, wouldn't know who I'm buying from and would they be genuinely there own bred birds,

Yes I suppose that occasionally one might get lucky on these sites and pick up something good but I feel far safer in buying birds off of people who I know or know of and especially if they've got a very good reputation for there birds,
like wise people come to me for the odd few birds etc and to share and and discuss knowledge,
A lot of it is all about trust and reputation amongst people and most of whom are often freinds

I can pay a lot of money for me birds as mentioned often between £150 - £300 each and occasionally more and definitely wouldn't like the thought of buying and paying out a lot of money if I didn't know nothing about the person and more importantly where the birds actually came from,

Also remember that there are a lot of dodgy birds that float about through various bird set ups aswell as bird sales and what have you,

With expensive birds we generally have to be on our toes and watch out for anything that seems dodgy,

Remember if yer buy from someone who you personally do not know and know nothing about under no circumstances allow anyone to know of your location

[Fraza]

Stuart whiting yeh your right actually think I’m gonna make my own little cages tho to give to people when they buy my birds
