They're beautiful birds which we don't have access to Australia. Your youtube videos are very welcome on the forum as we otherwise would not get to see these species. Are all 3 species well established in Spain with good access to captive bred stock or are they usually imported?

Hello Tiaris ,

The Psaltria Psaltria now is "easier" to see them in Spain . To my knowledge , we are about 12 breeders.

The Jouyi psaltria is more difícl to see.

And lawrencei only know another breeder in Spain .

They usually come from other breeders in Europe, especially in Germany.

Greetings .

Hello Elferoz ,

Glad you like the videos.
I live in Madrid, the south, near Toledo.
No problem ensañarte birds but do not want to get your hopes as my aviary is small , I had to remove many birds and cages due to space and Family

But you're invited to see them

greetings .
