Wondering if anyone from the forum will be going to the Avicultural Society of South Australia's sale tomorrow?

Hopefully.

Although due to a chronic (and perpetual) space shortage I'm not really looking to buy anything. Unless something really jumps out at me.

I'm lucky, have a few empty aviaries that need filling :thumbup:

The longest I've ever had an aviary empty is about... three hours.

Bit out of my price range, was very surprised to see a pair there though, to be honest.

Came home with a pair of Crimsons, Red-Brows, Plumheads, Diggles and Yellow Siskins....And an Orange-Breast hen

There was a decent amount of finches there today, I thought.

Nothing there that took my fancy, unfortunately.

If I had a permit I would have seriously considered the Purple-crowned Lorikeets that one guy was selling. Stunning little birds; they sold in about ten seconds flat.
