Hello all....I'm thinking about buying these birds (please see video)...what would be a fair price ? Are they a rare breed ? I have experience with a few species of finches but have nver seen these ? How much would a pair set me back in Australia (approximately)?

They are around $80/90pr in Qld....reasonably hard to get...and a lot have been hybridised with the other two (white and black headed nuns)so some are not pure which is a shame....know one bloke in Rocky who thinks its great to keep them all in the same aviary and doesn't care if they cross...shame really
