Whats on the agenda for the meeting and how long will it go for? Is there anything else planned for the day/weekend?
I am interested in purchasing any of the more unusual Lonchura species and/or their subspecies. Particularly the Asian Munias or New Guinea Mannikins. If you have some and wish to sell them, PM me with the type, quantity and price
I will buy related or unrelated birds. I am also happy to organise and pay freight from anywhere in Australia.

I grew up in Tamworth and had my favorite finching places to visit if you've got time and a map/gps is a day drive to the Dungowan dam for a picnic or if you’ve got more time the Limbri road. You can be guaranteed of seeing zebs, double bars, red-brows and sometimes diamond sparrows and occasionally plum-heads. Of coarse I’m sure Westfinch and the other local finchos there will have so great aviary visits planned too. With only a couple of months to go here in the Philippines I’m getting all nostalgic.
