Swear on the bible this is true ......An Orange pet store is selling Pied Cordons for $330.00 a pair , reduced to $280.00 this week.

I defineatly have the wrong birds
Wanted to take a photo of the price ticket to prove it but mobile was flat as per usual.

Think they heard about the Bird Sale @ Orange coming up soon?

If you go to the sale Deb, you will know exactly what birds to get.

Wow,looks like I am breeding the wrong birds to pay for keep for the others,That no one wants.

Yeah fellow who buys / sells asked if we were heading to Orange sale . We do a few a year but this year will be all local sales , no more overnighters .
Could not beleive the price and they were quite ordinary looking birds .
Bet ya any money Gomer if we all got stuck into breeding Cordons by the time our youngins hit the market they would be cheap as chips

Thats what always happens. Best to keep what you like yourself I think.

yes i find it easier to keep whats valuable to me. like you say deb the minute we have youngsters out the price will crash.. only takes a good season.....pete

True true as nice as it would be to be making some $$$$ from the hobby , it is a hobby after all and meant to be for enjoyment.
After a bit of rearranging Im happy with the birds I have now , by selling of a few pairs that I wasnt really keen on I now have a manageable and enjoyable collection .
Babies are a bonus of course but not a necessity.

And here I was thinking my Hobby was meant to be a black hole into which I pour money.
A bit like kids actually.
If making money out of them mattered I would have lost interest long ago.
Selling a few now and then is less a pleasure than a necessity.
Now if I could just find a Tardis or 2 to use as avairys the world would be sweet.
Tardis for those non sci fi nuts is bigger on the inside than the outside.

tardis Hmm,The only problem with that would be,Every time you went in to feed the birds,You wouldnt know where you would be when you came back out.

Dr Who fans Im guessing
