You can freight birds into WA.But you can't have any seed,in the carry box. :ohmygod:

 

This is not true. A lot of people over east believe this but it is not true.

In believing this MYTH :question: too many birds are sent from over east with no seed in the box to sustain them.

Birds can travel with seed in the box ( which they need for the trip ) .

When they get here in W.A. we have a couple of options.

1. empty any seed out at the collection point ( Australian Air Express or whatever )

 

or

 

2. Do it at home and return it in a bag supplied by staff. I have done this many times.

 

SO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HOW DID THE AUCTION GO ???

 

 

I thought there would be an issue with getting birds into WA? Is that wrong? Y'know, quarantine rules etc?? If not that's terrific.

 

We have some problems bringing parrots in from over east in that quarantine has to be able to formally identify certain parrots coming in. They have stated that they can only say for certain that they can identify weeros, budgies, or cockatiels and the common parrots.........galahs and corellas. Anything else involves a photo being taken through the cage wire and the photo being submitted for formal identification through qiarantine. You can take the bird home but must phone through in a few days to be sure your bird passed its ID process.

Sometimes they even worry that show budgies being bigger than average budgies may not be budgies at all and may also be another kind of parrot :raincloud: Stupid procedure but thats the way it is

Delicious scones with cream and jam.....Yummy! They were worth going there.

 

Long, but entertaining auction. PT did a great job and his son as well.

and the birds ??????????????????????????????????????

:raincloud: :question: :ohmygod: :rofl:

 

Scones were only $1....but birds quite pricey. There were lots of bidders with lots of money to spend.

 

The Crest from the Garces family went for $1700

and

PT's Grey Green Cock went for $1650.

 

Most of the birds I liked went for big money. The Ian Hunter birds were very popular.

Karen this seems to be a change. Do we have to advise anyone beforehand that seed is in the box? I know I collected some birds from the National Auction a week ago and the people at Australia Air Express looked for seed. I said there wasnt any and they could see into the box. They said to me thanks for that. Having come from North Queensland they had been in the box for 17 hours. I thoght the ghen was going to die when I too her out in the car. But she was good when I got her home providing her with Spark/Probotics.

 

Also they didnt give me a hard time. Previously, the AQIS guy always needed to be called whenver I bought birds in. He would always be grumpy that I hadnt made arrangements with him to come. That element seems to have chilled a little. Over the years it just depends who is in the jobs.

I was after a couple of birds myself but had a friend and judge check them out for me. He said not to bid for them so I didnt. :rofl:

 

and I didnt get any scones with jam and cream either

Its always been this way in the time I have collected birds Jeff. They dont mind there being seed in the box as long as its either left behind at Aus Air Express at time of collection or its returned in a bag with a form attached soon after. The trust me to return the seed to them in the bag but they also recognise my face down there too and trust me

Thanks for that. I have a bird coming this week so that might come in handy.

I would like to go for a look next year.

I am just a beginner, so probably can't say much about the quality and prices.

But in my opinion the really good birds sold for lots and lots of money and even the birds of lesser quality were not cheap.

Not too many for under $100.

I bought one little dom pied opaline cobalt hen. I am very happy with her and it was the bird I wanted....I viewed all the budgies

and she was the one I liked and I probably paid too much, but I had fun ;-).

I didn't check out many cock birds as I was after hens.

TEMPTATION :rofl: But I have all the greywings I need right now..............

I was going but my ride had to work but I decided to put my money to better use and I made a big nappy cage for my babies.

Decided I have the birds here just need to work on them for a while. AND maybe save my money for the bloodline I really want.
