received an email today from a bird dealer in the US thought people might like to see the price of orange cheeks over there

Fantastic price will take the lot lol

It's only a good price if you are comfortable buying mass wild caught birds...

would be better captive bred

I wouldn't mind a couple of pairs of new blood wildies.

What are they going for now in Oz? I have a spare cock bird at the moment which I might offload.

Wow! One day....

I'll take it off you... How does $29 U.S. sound? I won't even include the discount on you! Lol

I'm not sure what they are going for here in Oz I'm sure someone on here would have an idea though

I think around $1200 to $1500 a pair if you can find any to buy.

$1200 AUD is roughly $1500 USD and 1500/30 = 50, so you can buy fifty pair of Orange cheeks in the USA for the cost of one pair here in Australia. I think this import/export kurfuffle might be skewing prices slightly!
