Well it's amazing what's still hanging on out there. If only those with the last birds knew of each other and trusted each other. I know I live in a dream world.

If there is suddenly a lot of Aussie tourists hanging round the imigration office in NZ talking nicely to potential immigrants about the companion birds they should get and keep in exchange for an 18 month delay in migrating and half their ticket paid???

Can see why everyone loves the Roul roul and that metalic blue.... wow. I love blue birds.

Saw these in the flesh for the first time this year. Amazing looking birds! And a nice size to add to a finch aviary.

Just get a hold of a sea worthy boat and I'll meet you at an undisclosed location on the east coast of Aus and I'll swap some Munias for your Chaff's and whatever else you want to bring over :thumbup:
Me to Henry, I just bought especially made boat with 5 aviaries on it for longer holidays trips I take once or twice a year, I like to take all the birds with me! I'll meet you half way! Not that I can afford a boat like this but I think I should be able to make the monthly payments from all the birds I breed! :purplex: I think! :worry:
