My emblemas, normal gouldians and firefinches were all about $65 a pair when I bought them from a bird place in Adelaide October 2008.

Tanunda bird sale earlier this month had
firefinches $20 for hen
white chested gouldian pair $65

I asked yesterday about a diamond and was quoted $120 pair

Hey Pete i have seen the prices and they are quite dear to compair here in Brisbane
How are the birds doing Pete

thats what i thought Greg,

the birds are busy doing their thing out there, dont know who's doin what as it is so big, but they are all very busy with the grass, they seem happy.
catcha

That sounds great Pete, good luck with the breeding

some are expensive,some are on the money,as far as the aussie ones go.

I went to a Finch sale in Brisbane on weekend. I noticed a few prices

Normal Gouldians were $40pr (lot ppl selling singles as well for $20)
Yellow back cocks were 40-65
Aust yellow $85 each
Cubans were around $50 a pair

Can't really remember many of rest I was only after a blue gouldian but didn't manage to find one.

I found some prices from a QFS auction I went to last year. Sorry about the hard to understand hand writing my wife was writing down sale prices after doing a 12 hour night duty at the hospital Unfortunately we didn't stay till very end so list isn't quite complete.

I can't post very big pics here so I'll include links to larger files at bottom which are bit easier to read.
