Aussie Finch Forum

I went to go to the Bird Fish and Reptile today but forgot they were closed on a Sunday so went out to Birdworld instead! They had LOADS of finches including Blue Caps, Auroras, Red Faced Pytilas, Melbas, Tricoloured PF, Parsons, Crimsons, BH Nuns to name a few. LOADS of RC Cordons!! Prices were a bit high though... $400 for the Blue Caps, $180 for the RC Cordons. There was also a stunning Split Blue Gouldian Cock which I was sooo tempted to walk out with!! So if you are in WA go have a look see ;)

Sh*t maybe I'll put my prices up

I reakon! Whats strabge is that they had HEAPS!! A month or so ago I couldnt get them! A few years ago I was paying $60-$80pr. Not sure why they are going up in price..wouldnt have thought they were starting to dwindle in numbers??

Ohhh and tehre was also a stunning pair of Red Siskins!!! Might have to add these on my wishlist too!!

that about sums it up

Last time I was in Birdworld they had quite a lot of birds, but not much variety. And I found their prices rather high as I could buy some of the finches they had at my local bird/pet shop for less. Maybe you should pop in here on your way through Kimberley.

yes the cordons have gone up quite a bit seems to me people have been either not breeding them or are holding onto them soo therefore the price has been goen up here in the west at work weve been strugling to get them in stock. havent been to birdworls in a few months might have to go have look at the birds and see if me mate there
