Who's going to the Taree bird sale - Saturday

[wagga]

This will be my 1st bird sale since moving to the coast. Are any other AFF members going.

Anyone else going to Taree?

How was the sale?

[wagga]

The sale was very small with only about half the tables used. I was there helping a friend sell some of his surplus finches which enabled me to have a good look around the hall. Clearance rates of benched finches was very high and average for parrots. Finches species seen Gouldian, Aurora, Cuban, African fires, Blue cap, Cordon, O/B Melba, Jacarini, RFPF, BFPF, Black throat, Star, Diamond, W/E Mask, Painted, Yellow rump, Double bars, Zebra. Plenty of mutation birds available, gouldian, zebs, RFPC and African Fire. Unfortunately numbers of the other species were mainly a pair or two. Sorry I diid not write down any prices, forgot pen and paper.
