William he is from out of state and does the Orlando shows, I emailed him a few times in regards to certain species he advertises on his site and he never replies.
People with type of attitude should not be working with the public. Public Relations is everything when you are selling something. To me, their birds may look pretty and worth the price but they did not take the time twice to sex bird properly. Both you and Angie are having to deal with finding new mates or a place to place your birds.
I only have males at this point. I have 2 young females but I will hold onto those to make new pairs with two unrelated males. I will be putting my pairs together again soon. Everyone is molting and it is rather hard to tell sex right now.
If you are unsure about how old the owls are I would not be in a rush to breed them, they could be to young.
