New Birdies!!!

Post by jamezyboo21 » Mon Feb 16, 2009 9:12 pm

I just went to the bird fair Saturday and a man gave me a pair of parrotlets, a lovebird, and a red rupmed parakeet for free. He also told me he has a lot of cages and cage accessories like nest boxes that he said i can have. We are making a day to meet. I also saw Mrs. Rhonda up there who managed to find a pair of parrot finches for me, she bought them from another breeder and waitied for me to show up. I am also getting 2 new pair of goldbreast next Saturday. I am Just so Happy with all my new finchies. I am planning on going to the Bird show in Mobile in July,. I was told there is a lady there who sell all kinds iof finches and has strawberry finches so i am really wanting to go to that.

I think they said american something. I dont know for sure the male has bigger eyes than the female. I will have to do more research and see what they are.

Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
