The reason for selling them is he has to have a rather big operation and doesnt want to burden his wife with having to look after all his birds as he will be out of action for quite some time. He's only charging me $10 each for them so I think I'm getting a rather good bargain!! Going down on Thursday to have a look at them!! Link to comment

There were some stunning looking birds there. A lot of them are large English show budgies. I will take some pics of them in the morning for you all. I have PM'd Deb who lives only half an hour away from the breeder and she is going to contact him. He's taking what's not sold privately to the pet shop on Saturday so I hope Deb is able to buy some. At least some of them will have gone to good homes!! Link to comment

I'm sure once you see them you'll want them all!!! I'l love to see them go to good homes (like ours) and not have to sit in tiny little cages at pet shops for god knows how long! Have fun!! Ian is very nice and extremely helpful.I offered to bring all his birds up to my place to "babysit" them while he is re-couperating after his operation. That way he could have them back when he's feeling better, but he politely declined the offer. So there are some top quality show budgies practically being given away!
