We're looking for between 2-6 young violet or anthracite budgies (1f:1-2m ratio). Either pet or club sized. (Opalines, pieds or clearwings would be fantastic)

 

I'm also looking for an aviary (hexagon on castors pref) and a couple of breeding boxes.

 

Please reply if you can help or know someone who can. We're located in Hobart.

Anyone know of any local breeders to contact? Or any associations?

I'm planning on going to the Hobart show in a months time to hopefully suss out some locals and what sort of qualities I should be looking for.

Still not sure if I want to go exhibition birdies or just pet ones... Exhibiting seems like a lot of hard work, especially when I've got two kiddies to raise and a limited budget.

Hello Emz, Try this link http://www.bctas.info/ you should be able to find plenty of local information and contacts. The Anthracite budgie is a very attractive bird from what i have seen on the internet, but unfortunately there are only a couple of breeders that have them worldwide and none of them are in Australia. The violets are around but not as plentiful as other blue series colours. Hope this helps
