Im just wondering how common are they? I haven't seen them around for a
long time. How much would a pair set you back in Victoria or a cock?

So NSW is the place to find them. Do you know why they haven't had much success with breeding?
You wouldn't happen to know how much they cost a pair or just for a cock bird?

I have 4 young BFPF - 1 week out of the nest, they sell for about $80 a pair here in NSW.
Once they get going they're easy to breed just like Zebras you can't stop them.
