October 16, 201014 yr Author Kaz, what were the prices like? I heard big money for Gazzard and Ault birds. Were there some more affordable ones? I think the dearest bird was $3100 lot 65 gazzard. lot 37 clint ault went for $2750 Fellows birds went pretty high in price too. There were bargains to be had as well even in the top breeders birds. i got a chidel grey spangle lot 16 for $320 (pictured in catalogue ) My favourite would be a light green op spangle cock of Allan Reid I bought ...lot 142 and Rob bought a relative of it. Both great birds. I bought two clearwings for Ron Minn and a fallow split for Gina. We have all the prices recorded. 15 birds for me Edited October 20, 201014 yr by KAZ
October 16, 201014 yr Author Pictures will have to wait ( at least mine anyway ) till I get back to W.A. Having a laugh here with GB.......she's one really funny gal. What a sense of humour. We led each other astray with the birds and meeting the bigwigs of the breeding fraternity.
October 16, 201014 yr http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z363/JeffLloyd1/Opaline_GreyChidelHenWSAUCTION2010.jpg This is Lot 74. She is bred by Mark Chidel. She is now mine. I plan to use her to my Clearbodies. Edited October 18, 201014 yr by Dave_McMinn Beautiful bird but the image is outside the size regulations
October 17, 201014 yr Nice purchase Jeff, I hope she won't only see clearbodies, as she looks like an excellent outcross for other varieties as well, particularly normals. Cheers Clearwing
