Congrats! Be sure to give them something like NV powder, or other electrolyte/vitamin solution to help get them through the stress of being shipped.

It al depends on season really. I know he can get weavers, silverbills, oc waxbills, spice and Pintail whydahs. But it can vary, sometimes he can't get certain birds. These were all species i saw while i was there
