Great! Because I have to get my birds freighted it costs about $150 per box so Id like to try and get them in one hit. Im hoping to have my large flight completed after December so would be looking at obtaining pairs between now and then. Thanks for your replies!

One day Jaybird, you will get your dream species-at least yours is relatively available in Oz. Id love Green Strawbs and Purple Grenadier Waxbills. Not liking my odds!

I know a guy who just got some nice young green strawbs - so don't count your unhatched 'unlikely' eggs yet :D
