Did you have any entered?

Not this time

[Buzzard-1]

Can't wait.A lot of people say oh Zebs but I started with them still have them lov em.

[flippenheck]

I can't remember the exact number, but there were I think 23 class with a bird in each from 5 clubs. In other words a lot of birds.


They also had an auction in the afternoon, with 48 lots sold, all being Zebra Finches. There were quite a number of red's from the west, as well as a pair of Isabel's selling for $205

i think i no who the reds came from most probs would be harry doven he breeds quite a few reds and good ones at that

Still nothing nicer to look at than a well coloured / marked Zeb a la naturale. Pity they became so popular , I wish I could sneak some photos of what a store in town is passing of as zebra finches ....undersized , small heads , mottly colour , beaks that look too big for the head and the list goes on.
And now sadly its happening with the quarrions , mottly looking birds with nothing going for them what so ever . Cheap birds that people continue to breed thus weakening the gene pool .
Fortunately we have another store that prides itself on good birds and you will pay extra for them but he will also buy back well bred birds .
Sadly not every one will pay the extra so the cycle continues . Anyhoo gotta love the humble Zeb , pity they breed so prolifically.

Correct Harry was at the federation and the book I was taking about was written by him and another chap called, Ken Glasson.
