I can't believe it

Post by KarenB » Sun Oct 12, 2014 9:35 am

I walked out of the bird show yesterday without getting the pair of black crowned waxbills I've been wanting for the longest time. #-O

I love Gouldian Finches.

Yes, there were three pair, which is why I cannot believe I walked away without some.

Jan will be bringing them to the mart/show at Temple Nov. 1. I'm wondering if we could work out a way to have someone from Houston pick up a pair for you and meet you somewhere? She had donated a pair to the club auction, and I was so lucky, not many were bidding on them, so I got the pair for $80!

Oh, I wish I knew they were in the auction. I would have bid. Yes, I think I may have them picked up and meet someone, that would be great! That is the third time I have had the opportunity to get a pair and passed them up.

Ooh, they're super lovely. I bet that was tough to walk away!

I seriously have to leave my debit cards and credit cards at home when I go to these events and take my spending money in cash to keep myself from going nuts! (Or just bring the husband along. LOL)

I am thinking, that you must have been very sick that day. I know personally, that I would have to be half dead on my sick bed to walk out of a bird show, without the Finches I had my heart set on.

Karen, you could probably contact Jan with Texas Pride Aviary about some. She's not that far from you!

That would be another option, and you could then pick out the pair you want. I believe she had two pairs left.

That is probably the best option, because she is about an hour and some away from me
