I'd be most interested!! Thanks for posting that! Interesting reading! There was three albino's that went for $12.000 last year. Sometimes these things become a ego thing between the top breeders! And not really a indication of a birds value. As I have said in other posts, top show birds don't always make good breeders. A lot of money to just sit on the perch.

I agree , It sometimes becomes a power trip, And your right that top priced bird never breeds well??
June 26, 200817 yr It's amazing what people will pay. At a Bull auction an Angus bull sold for $82,000. Most sell for $2000-$3000. And these guys breed well, its the sole purpose they are bought really, for their breeding value.

I'd be most interested!! I believe the author later corrected that article so that it read $6,000. However, I was at the auction and it was in 1992 for a Cobalt cock which had won the National that year. Remember, English birds had been on the scene only a few years and many people had outlaid a fortune getting into them so prices were still high. It was also a deceased estate and contained many nice birds. Bidders arrived from all over the country and the bidding was keen. Three guys sitting beside me spent $21k, $11k and $1,400 whereas I spent a paltry $290 :hap: Oh, and who bought the $6K bird? Well his initials go a little like HG
