Woo hoo! Very excited .

...but eek, not sure about using Nike's famous registered trademark. Don't get yourselves in trouble .

Looks like plenty of seed there. Do you think it's enough?

What? Free advert for Nike - they should pay us. Perhaps the Sales Table's selling shoes too.
I have a close friend who was importing Nike running shoes for elite athletes many years ago when he was a high level athlete. He was offered the Australian Nike distributorship and turned them down to continue as a teacher. Silly bugger!

It was a great sale bigger than last year 38 sellers with over 840 birds benched,
A good time had by all

Most birds were sold which is always a bonus.
Prices were a bit weird with some species cheaper than usual whilst others were higher than what you would usually expect to pay.
However, I did note that there was much less diversity specie wise then last year.
Lots of Gouldians, Orange Breasts, Cut throats, Cordons from what I saw.
All in all a well run sale, the FSA have to be commended on their professionality and enthusiasm to promote aviculture to the public.

Thanks crazy cuban.

There's a few things we'll improve for next year but overall it all came together and was very successful. I'll post a few pictures shortly - I only have overview pics as I had no time to look at birds apart from assisting with the initial health/welfare checks.

Thanks to all who helped, sold, bought or just came along for a sticky beak.

Regards,
Sam
