Thank you. Kindest Regards.

Thanks for that mate but I will have to give this year a miss with the Green seed. Its fantastic stuff but I cant justify spending that sort of money on bird seed with a young family.
Maybe someone could start growing it down here and we can buy it for $117.00 an esky like the Qeenslanders do

Hi Nathan,

That sounds like a great idea....a Victorian growing our own green seed (so if you have any vacant land please put your hand up....I know there are a few of you out there)..... But don't hold your breath waiting....unfortunately too many fincho's in Victoria are great with their ideas and like to sit back and let someone else put in the work. They are also great at bitching about prices for birds and the food we supply our birds.

I would love us Victorians to pay the same as our Queensland finchos...if it wasn't for the 3 lots of freight and 2 lots of storage our seeds go through the costs would be much lower. So to get the seed from the Lowes farm to your freezer involves 5 freight/storage companies. Like you and I these people like to get paid for the work they do. Also the Queensland finchos go to the Lowes farm and pick up their own seed.....maybe one of the Finchos from Victoria can volunteer and go and pick up my seed for me next year!!!

So if someone else would like to take the hundreds of calls/PM regarding orders and organise the logistics of this years shipment feel free to PM me and I will gladly hand it across to you.

I started this process purely for the sake of ensuring my own birds have green seed each year. Maybe I would be better off growing my own seeds and not have the hassles associated with getting the shipment ordered and delivered each year.....so if you are thinking of ordering maybe it would be a good idea of doubling up your order this year as it may be my last!!!



Cheers
Paul

Hang on there Blujay a lot of us in including myself have been very appreciative of what Paul does every year, and there is 41 pages of posts to prove this point!

Not that I have to justify myself but with building a new house and 4 children under 6 my money is better spent elsewhere at the moment. It has been a service Paul has put up for Ones to except or not. If this is the last year so be it, at the end of the day we are all still friends.
So don't go stiring things up making something out of nothing!
