122 sounds like a fair crack at it.

Which parrotfinch species are still around?

Cheers

I did, but only because I want some :D I don't THINK there are any around, and if so I imagine they'd be secreted away.
There was ONE in the Canberra free flight aviary, but I only saw it once, and the owner is adamant it came out of a red faced nest...
also a possible blue breasted cordon in there, been around for ages... looks like a red cheek cock without red cheeks.
now if I only hand 200grand I could have bought that place :think: who can I sue :roll: :lol:
