I have drooled all over my phone, and I hold you to blame...
Ohhh Myyyy Goddd! You had to give me those sites? All I did all evening was jump around from one site to another, to another, and so on, and so on........ My wish list has grown by leaps and bounds, but my bank account hasn't. Oyyy, what have you done to me?
I want everything!!!

So much to buy...
But the prices are too high...
Oh my, oh my, oh my....
I cannot tell a lie...
I feel like I might cry...
Why, oh why, oh why...
Must the prices be so high???
LOL!
Couldn't help myself. It was just one of those moments, when really dreadful poetry was called for...

Re: Black Masked Dacni
Yeah prices are higher for softbills but there are always bird shows, especially the one in Orlando, they have hundreds of softbills at a fraction of the price of what you see advertized online.
How come there isn't a softbill forum? Granted I love finches but I have yet to find a community like one here dedicated to such a diverse group of birds.

Re: Black Masked Dacni
I love the softbills, but most of them are beyond my budget. They are so beautiful, but I think they need more space than I can spare anyway. You are lucky where you are, I've heard the Orlando marts are amazing. I'm not a Facebook fan, but I think there is a softbill group on Facebook.

Re: Black Masked Dacni
There is an Orlando show this coming Sunday, April 12th. They usually have at least two vendors there with all kinds of softbills. I will try to get pictures for the new softbill section.
I did receive a notice from the owner of the show, they are down sizing the show to 2/3 what the floor space currently is now, this will occur for the June show. April's show will remain the same.

Re: Black Masked Dacni
That would be great, cindy !
The more pics you could take the better, and if you could get the prices too, better still.

Re: Black Masked Dacni
Sunbay, I simply adore your Blue Dacnis. Your pictures and endearing stories of them first turned me back onto softbills and I had so hoped to get a pair from Jan Door with Pride Aviary but she retired last year before the next mart I'd be attending.

Re: Black Masked Dacni
Thank you so much!
I have 2 pair + 1 hen now, of the Blue Dacnis. They continue to be the Rock Stars of the house.
I am still looking for 2 males.
They all have just about finished getting new pin feathers in, and the males are starting to be very interested in the hens. No eggs so far.
Brenda's Birds, in Delray, FL gets softbills in often. She may have Black-faced dacnis. Andy Padron, at Feathered Wagon gets them also. His last shipment had Blue Dacnis hens, but no males.
I just had some business cards made up - featuring a Blue Dacnis, of course.
Best,
Lauren

Re: Black Masked Dacni
Sunbay - You should start a breeding/husbandry thread for the Blue Dacnis in this new subforum. It would be immensely helpful to potential new owners.
