Karl will usually post a weekly list of his available birds on a few yahoo groups.

I don't think he has a website - but you can locate him by this link.

Cindy,
Floyd Barnett does have a website and he ships so you can get birds from him even though you aren't close to Atlanta. He has an unbelievale availability list. There may be a wait as he must have them shipped in to him first. Here's his info:

AND he doesn't have all the birds that are listed.....

Donna. I will look around here for you. Is it a female that you need?

No, I need a cock. The one I have is a hen for sure. I saw her lay an egg one morning from the perch.....

Thanks Candace!!!

Donna, I am going to a show Sunday, if I see any I will see if they ship. Did you try Feathered Wagon? He was at one of the shows and had some interesting finches and other tropicals.

I believe this is Floyd's current contact information and pretty close to current prices. I don't think he ever actually bred all of those listed there on that availability list. But I think that he knows how to get what you want shipped in ... if it is to be found Hopefully he will get a chestnut breasted mannikin shipped in to sell to you

This breeder was at the Orlando show in August and will be there again on October 25th. He has on his site Chestnut Breasted Mannikins. I don't know if he has them in stock, He also carries some differnet types of Softbills and Neotropicals and an assortment of finches. If we don't see anything at the show this weekend we may go to the Orlando show. If we do go, I will talk with him and let you know.

This is his site, you can contact him by email. I believe he is from Georgia.

He was at the show in Orlando, his NeoTropicals are outstanding. The colors are vivid and bold. He had some finches but there was a crowd around his tables and I could not get a good look, I did see very pretty cherry or plum head finches. when you go to the site look at the colors in the NeoTropical section, you can get there from the home page. He also has soft bills.

If he is at the show Sunday I will see what he has and let you know. Right now on his site it looks like he does the 4 Orlando shows.
