Guest Lin Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Have a search on here, I know Hath put up all the things judges look for in a bird - it was very interesting to read! A small bird, and they look for soo many things! Link to comment

You will be offered what the breeder will consider to be below his standards. If you do want his good ones... be prepared to argue and pay a high price. If he is a top breeder winning shows his top birds will sell between $3000 to $10,000. To start buy the best that your money can afford and do as Hath has stated.
