And How many will be Serious Purchasers? A lot of tyers kickers & maybe 29 Serious Buyers & a few looking to pick up a bargain. what do you think a bargain at this auction would be macker being realistic knowing you are only taking a ball figure of what you yourself believe a bargain here at this auction would be i think more than 30 real buyers going yes lots lookers but more than 30 true bidders i think Link to comment

I will be there helping out running the birds, Even if you are not buying if you can make it i am sure it would be a great eye opener as for quality and what a awesome stud should look like. Chidel Is one of the premier breeders in Australia and to see him sell his stud, i just cannot beleive it but it is happening tomorrow. So if you can come on down and have a look. Do not bring the wife just in case you are tempted. I am sure some of these birds will go for Thousands That greywing grey is priceless. Hope to see some of you guys there. If you are there come and say Hi. My name is John. I have put the link for you to see the quality of the birds he has ------------> http://www.hillsbran...talogue-web.pdf Edited September 16, 2011 by Super Spangle Link to comment

I have enough flecking in my aviary so my view is that I am not missing out of much and plus they are right out of my price bracket. If I had the money that my club members took up there i would buy myself a new car and a good one at that so I can get around again (go to the next shield would be nice). lol Once the flecking appears it is very hard to get rid of. The flecking in my birds is hidden and I believe it is coming from the Watson blood birds. This is my view only so no one bite my head off. I have an update, just heard that the top price bird so far got $6,000. wow Link to comment

It was well organised by the Hills Branch as always and all the members did a fantastic job. The birds did go for a high amount but if you saw the quality on display it was jaw dropping. The birds had so much feather and Width Of shoulder along with spot size depth of mask and the directional feather on the head was simply amazing. The guy has been breeding for 20 years and has won 8 National awards and todays auction showed why. For me it was an eye opener for what i would need to breed to compete at a top level. Also imagine how much money and time has been spent getting these birds to this level. It is a credit to their owner. All in all it was a fantastic day. Now lets hope all the people who purchased the birds know what to do with them. Good luck & hope there are many youngsters for the future.

I find it actually frustrating. Mark has beautiful birds and good on him, he has done the hard yard, a bird is only worth what we are willing to pay and some people have very deep pockets and can go for it and other don't. I have to admit with what I have bred form my culls that I have bought I am very proud. Winning a shield and placing in top 5 and winning grand champion etc. with out spending a fortune. Hey Taz how does that work by putting to flecked together and you get no flecked because if I do that I get worse flecking. Link to comment

I think hobbies are a good thing and I encourage everyone to have at least one past-time. Depending on your financial circumstances you are more or less able to invest in your passion. I have no doubt that if I had the disposable income I would be over at the Hills auction every year and buying up big at this auction too - it is a very rare opportunity to bring in quality stock. But I don't So I just look at the auction pictures instead Link to comment
