Ok thanks for that. That might be easier. Looking forward to seeing what varieties of finches will be available.

usually lots, if Southy is coming, probably weavers, waxbills etc. , usually lots of aussie finches and some waxbills/parrot finches/munias etc.
lots of other birds too, though a LOT less parrots than the Avicultural society sale in August. Budgies, often small doves, quail, etc.

I actually know Southy. And have been to his place many times to see his great collection. Hoping for plenty of Gouldians, as I want to organise breeding stock for next year..
