Well Bob and I have been sourcing out more birds of late to add to our stock to fuel us to get into the "showing" side of our hobby.

 

We've sourced birds from a few people around, inc Kaz who's given us some very excellent birds from a member of our club. We bought 1 expensive and 1 regular priced bird from a Nationals breeder down south (Once again only found him with the help of Kaz) And today we had a visit from one of the top breeders of my FAVOURITE variety FALLOWS

 

He came with three boxes of birds to choose from (13 birds) He left empty handed

 

I only have photo's of the new birds we got today so far, but if I get chance I'll upload the photo's of the other birds from Kaz and the breeder down south. I'm very happy with what we've got (even if they all up cost and arm and a leg) I think i'll be able to get some lovely offspring from them all.
