Re: Looking for birds in Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin)
ginak There won't be any marts till early spring. TBBFA usually has the first mart of the year in March in Temple. They haven't posted a date for next year's mart yet, but here is their website: www.texasbirdbreeders.org.
I know a man in the Dallas area who may be able to help you with the Fire finch (if it is Senegal or Red-billed) male and a pair of BCCB. Finchmix22 (Deborah) can probably help you with the Forbes pair. Here is a breeder who might be able to help with the BB Gouldians: www.happybirdplace.weebly.com
Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on various species of finch and their care. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions later on.
I'll move this topic to the Marketplace, where members usually post for sale and/or looking for ads.

I will contact my friend in Dallas to ask his permission to give out his email address. He doesn't have a website. I do know that he has been selling his waxbills, as he is moving on from those species.
