I only sell my finches to people who I know from marts, the forum, etc. I won't sell to pet stores or to people who turn around and sell them elsewhere AKA brokers. I prefer, even if the person is a newbie to finches, that I know them through someone and/or they live in my area, so I can help them if needed. I've sold some to breeders across the country that I know, but I'm confident they will take good care of my babies.

I know other people sell their finches to pet stores and brokers or to newbies that they don't know, this is just my personal preference as a worried finch mom. :wink:
