Yes, I do live in Ga. The fair was in Atlanta and they only had a few blue backs. In fact, I found one, left to buy another and was going back to get the blue I wanted and it was gone. Oh well.... didn't need to spend so much that day anway.

They were selling for 100 each. Which I felt was really good considering what pet stores want.

I paid 100 dollars for the yellow back. The normals were 75 to 85. The blues were around 120.
I will be there also. I have some juveniles I am taking to someone and I plan to buy a blue back if I can find one.

I actually went to buy supplies and promised myself no bird this time, but you all know how that goes. :)
Here is a picture of him. He is the yellow back.
I am hoping that someone can help me think of a name for him.
Any ideas anyone?

I love the Normals but the Yellows sure are growing on me.

I have a friend that loves the yellows and she has every color from 1 pair of Ladies. They are split to everything......LOL

Ughhh. I want my gouldians to start breeding already, lol :lol: Ihave had them as long as the zebras and the zebras all have babies and my gouldian is still molting. im going crazy trying to see if she is a male and what color her head is, i see a little bit of orange but it is so little that it might actually turn red. I also want to get a pair of yellowbacks and blue backs. i think there is a bird fair or something happening in newport news this Saturday.
