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

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.

Hi Kevin

Out of curiiosity how much were the Pekin Robins, himilayan greenfinches and chaffinches?
