Ill be there wearing a baseball cap, just havent decided what colour yet :penguin: maybe red.
Come and say hi.

Havent seen or heard about any list of items at the finch auctions I think it gets changed dramatically in the closing hours.
Birdworld auction is more likely with the large number of Parrots, not sure when that is on think they had one not long ago.

I don't think that there is a pre sale list, all the lots have to be on the bench by 10am and sale starts at 11am.
It pays to get there early to check out the birds, last auction had about 220 lots with most being sold/
Cheers Greg.

Well wasnt overly excited with the auction to be honest.

Lots of Masks, stars, painteds, dbars, societies and gouldians. Quite a few lots with cock birds only, eg Crimson, RSiskens and TBars.
Masks were getting picked up under $15 Goulds some in single figures each.
Societies going for more than normal :D
Tanimbars under $100 a pair same with Pictorellas.
only 1 pr BFPF in 250 lots.
No pairs of Cordons at all..
1 Pair Split blue goulds went for 80 something!

I picked up a nice pair of Creamino and split pair of Hecks for $50 (not sure of current price but only 2 pr available did I get a good deal)
Also got a nice pair full Red front Painteds (I missed out on the yellows) But had to pay $27 a pair :D

Im not one for the show but had a gander there was some big proud Zebbies of every mutation possible on earth and beyond and some nice big goulds as well.

Hi and welcome.
Once you have made the required 5 posts a lot more of the forum will open up to you, we do have a classified section so you will be able to advertise for your required finch.
There is also a calendar of events at the bottom of the page which is kept as up to date as possible.

There is a webpage with dates of events you will need to check dates times and places with the clubs as things can change, but it can give you the link to the club hosting where there might be a bit more information.
