I have tried phoning Wendy and Ray last night, with no success, to see what birds are available. Does any know what happened to the Peters Twinspots. I would like to contact the new owners, if possible.
Prefer contact by PM
Would like an update on the Lowes bird clearance sale

Yes I do know where some pairs are at the moment.
The ones I know about are not for sale and are in a new breeding program.
I do not know how many pairs were there to start with though.

I was supposed to be the owner of two pairs and was quoted a price to be picked up after xmas (as my xmas present). When I rang to pick them up the price had increased by $800 a pair above the quoted price, and well out of the range of what had been saved to acquire them. A bit rude I thought.

Sorry to hear that Danny. This senario does not seem to fit the defination of "Fair". They would have been in very good hands.
cheers, Case.

The ones I know about are going in new indoor flights.
I can under stand their reasoning but it doesn't really go with our outdoor systems
I just wonder if long term that is the wrong way to go about it.
A prime example is the Red Crested Finch years ago,keep it in small flights and pull the cockbird out as he will kill the youngsters
Today let them loose in a planted flight,leave them alone and providing you give them an adequate diet, surprise, surprise, they survived,the
cockbirds even help in feeding the chicks and breeding results far better. It maybe not for the Twin Spots but maybe it should be trialed.
If we had not cosseted the cardinals they wouldn't have got so fat and stop breeding,maybe we would still have them in big numbers.
If only!!!!!

Is that it for the lowes and finches? ..... Or just a break?..... What's happening with the green seed?....

They told me that after this crops harvested they will be heading off,and they will be back just before next years crop is ready to harvest and so on,so i don't think their giving up on it.Lukec wrote:Is that it for the lowes and finches? .....
