I just ran across a website that said they raised pekin robins in Virginia. They didn't have a price posted they just said to contact them if you are interested.
I will have to see if I can find it again.

Sure! If you can find the prices that would be great.

I dunno about importing birds though...I looked to bring in a Greater Vasa several years ago and the quarantine restrictions were quite severe...I suppose it would be easier on a group of smaller birds though...than on one baby parrot...

Arg I can't find the site again. I did find another breeder that I think raises Pekin Robins. They didn't have anything listed for sale but you might be able to enquire about prices and such. http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3ft62/finchmadness/

Yeah importing birds dose seem like it could get complicated.

That's Robert Mehl's site. When I visited him last fall (got my pair of Goldbreast waxbills from him!) he had the single pair of Pekin Robins. He's a great resource with a lot of information!

I found another breeder that keeps pekin robins. They currently don't have any available but they do have a price list.

Oh yeah I did manage to find the other site again.

And I also found a soft bill breeder directory. I saw a few breeders with Pekin robins there as well.

Ok I think I am done now.
