Here a pair of Gouldian and Star are between 40€ to 60€.
The Scaly Breasted Munias are invasive in Portugal so it's common to find them in local markets and petshops with individual prices like 7,5€ (captured) but a captive bred pair is 35€, 40€.
The Lonchura molucca (Moluccan Munia) is rare to find them here in Portugal, normally are 100€ or more by pair.

We don't have Moluccan Munias at all in Australia. Scaly-breasted is the same as our Spice Finch (I assume) $20 to $40pr & we have feral populations of these as well. Stars are $25 to $50pr & Gouldians $30 to $60pr for normals in Australia. I've heard of many Gouldian Finch transactions in Australia a market value of $10pr was well before the past 35 years or so. Any at that price in recent years must be either extreme generosity by the breeder or rubbish quality birds in very poor condition or some combination of both.

Tiaris,
The breeder is a very close family frend. And the gouldians I bought were the best gouldians I have ever bought they have 3 clutches per pair every year.


Thanks Nathan
