So get them wich is my suggestion no one else has them and there really hard to get hold of I have been after them for months. They have a pair for sale in orange for $250 I only fond that out after I got back to sydney :thumbdown: wich is my luck.
And also if you hand raise them you can sell the hand raised babys for like $600 so big $$ aswell.
If you are very lucky you can get kings for $200 pr – not hard to find in vic . I think they look better in their natural habitat instead of an aviary anyway – naturally quiet. Sadly another species hit by circo.

Yes I have seen them before as low as $200 pr on petlink sadly no were near were I live I have also seen them as high as $400 at my pet shop.

Very nice. I like the smaller hookbills.
I will be seeing a hand raised blue quaker today.
