Bird Mart in Mobile Alabama

Post by jamezyboo21 » Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:12 am

Is anyone going to the birdmart this weekend at the Abba shrine? I'll be going and hopefully find some nice finches. Texas Pride use to be there and I always got finches from them. I heard they have retired and no longer sell finches :(

Yes, Jan Door of Texas Pride Aviary retired and sold off all her birds. We miss her at our marts, as she always had the most incredible selection of finches and softbills.

Yes, Sally is correct. I wish I could go there, but Alabama is too long drive. #-o

Sally I remember Jan and she always had a huge variety of finches and I always came to their tables first. Unfortunately for me she retired right before I got back into the finch hobby. Hopefully someone else will have a variety.

Sally I was surprised. I didn't think they would have that good of a selection and prices. I really wanted to get strawberries but they said they breed them and they will most likely have pairs at the next fair. That gives me 2 moths to save up.

It looks like it was a good mart. Our next mart is in October and I can't wait.

I would like a pair of blue gouldians and another pair of Cordon Bleus. But it depends on if my birds decide to start having babies.
