Anybody going to the bird sale next weekend? Was thinking of going and having a look. I've never been to a bird sale before and was thinking it would be worth while the visit

Hi Shaun,

I'm planning on going. Will be selling but not 100% sure exactly what I'll be selling at this stage. It's a really big and well run sale and there's usually a fair range of finch species and other paraphenalia.
Please come and say hello. There's a picture of my new sale cage somewhere on AFF and I plan to print off a bunch of AFF adverts - might help you to identify me.

Regards, Sam

Looking forward to seeing you there then. Is parking at the Shopping center the best bet, which is 500m away apparently.

Here's a link to details - Castle Hill Birdsale
There's a map on the above link that shows parking areas. The sale starts at 10am but if you arrive anytime close to 10am you'll be very lucky to get parking where it's indicated on the map. If you continue past the venue there's some tennis courts and behind these courts there's plenty of extra parking (a small walk back to the sale). Many people park along the access road but I understand the council's brown bombers can be brutal.
I'll definitely be selling OBs, Ruddies and Stars as these are my 9 year old son and his mates birds and are the main reason we're going. Some are only just starting to colour - I see this as an advantage but I know many buyers will disagree. Anyway, assuming they sell I suspect we'll be heading home via Toys'R'Us!

Be careful where you park I have been told the Rangers will be booking cars not parked correctly .
