If you have black heads you are more likely than me to get that Blue backed Gouldian Diane.

Hi KevinKeven S wrote: Some birds sold cheap, $150 for Crimsons (couldn’t resist) red faced pytilia $200, not so cheap, $120 for Cubans and $120 for red faced p/finch.
I didn’t get a chance to see everything that was for sale as I spent too much time drooling over a pair of pekin robins and deliberating over pin tailed whydah, which I eventually purchased. As I moved on there were a lot of empty display cages. Birds that I saw that you would not normally see and in large numbers were, pin tailed whydah , Himalayan green finch, chaff finch , golden song sparrow , red siskin , napoleon weaver, grenadier weaver , oriental green finch ,pekin robin , magpie robin , variety of wrens and other soft bills along with your more common finches, stars, fires, masked ,yellow rump, pictorella ,nuns ,plum heads, o/breast d/bars ,red brow ,p/finches zebras of every colour ,diamonds ,cordons, gouldians, including blues and quail, doves and pigeons of many different varieties.
.
Out of curiiosity how much were the Pekin Robins, himilayan greenfinches and chaffinches?
