Posted May 10, 200817 yr I have just had a phone call from a breeder half an hours drive away and has given me first offer on his show budgies!!! 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!!
May 10, 200817 yr Great to hear - Good luck trying to pick them - I know I would probably come home with most if not all of them lol
May 10, 200817 yr Author Great to hear - Good luck trying to pick them - I know I would probably come home with most if not all of them lol That's on the cards Neat! It's going to be very hard picking them, just might take them all!!
May 11, 200816 yr Just a suggestion ask the breeder to pick a pair to help you to get a good line going then you pick a pair that you like.Remember good Hen are hard to find. Steve
May 12, 200816 yr sounds like you've struck gold there... I can understand your excitement... thats great news. Good luck with the newbies
May 14, 200816 yr Author I'm going to have a look at the budgies in the morning - I dont know just what I'll come home with!! Will post some pics when I get home!!!!!
May 15, 200816 yr Author I bought 2 pairs of lovely looking birds today - I wish I was rich and bought the lot! 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!!
May 15, 200816 yr Jenene you should contact the breeder and explain that you would have loved to have more but couldn't afford it and if the pet shop isn't going to pay him much if anything for them(which they might not if they are adults) then they would be welcome at your place
May 15, 200816 yr i got in touch with the guy and i am going up on sat morning to have a look.Thanks jenene for letting me know.
May 15, 200816 yr Author i got in touch with the guy and i am going up on sat morning to have a look.Thanks jenene for letting me know.That's great Deb!! 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!
