Aussie Finch Forum

Just asking if any other members from the site are going to the Albury Bird Sale this weekend.

Too many relations down that way , would be swamped with catch ups ....doesnt sound all that bad hey .

Hi Orix,
I will be there. I will have W/E Masks, masks, charcoal zebras, cutthroats? and cubans to sell. See you there.

Went to the Albury sale, due to a situation I only took 26 birds
5pr Blue Face P/F,2 pr Red Faced P/F,2pr Cordons,2pr Painteds & 2pr Jacarinis
They were sold in under 10min. and I was on my way home very quickly.
I hope Ballarat Sale will be as good.
In general the birds offered were very small in number and buyers far out weighed sellers.
Orange Sale is still the number one sale for me for buying and selling.

All last week i was really looking forward to attending the Albury sale. It wasnt until friday i realised i had a 11am meeting here at home. Just couldnt be in two places at once. I will try and make another. One day i will attend my first sale!

E. Orix you can't complain at a quick sale like that. Even if you only took 26 birds, that's still covered a bag or 2 of seed.

Sounds like you had a good day ...well done.

I took 10 finches, sold 6. I had 3 pr Masks, 1 pr WE Masks, 1 pr Cubans. The foreign and unlicensed birds sold quickly, licensed Australian finches are harder to sell. I believe a limited number of each variety of birds for sale produces a better clearance rate, unless you are at the largest sales like Orange. Over all the finch numbers are down at this time of year, most people have cleared their excess birds out by now. I noticed that most birds sold within 30/45 minutes, this is normal at most sales. Started at 11.00 left for home 12.15. Unsold birds back in holding aviary at 1.30.
E Orix was across from me. I said a quick hello then you were gone. I will took to you soon.
