Nathan
You may not get many people posting to this question.
Many are reluctant to tell what the have on an open forum.

[nathan morley]

Why dont people like telling other people what types of finches they keep?

[Mickp]

a lot of it comes down to trust, there are some people in the world who on hearing that you have one of the rarer or more expensive species of bird would try their hardest to steal it.
to get an idea of who has what species of birds pay some attention to the icons in their signature line.

[nathan morley]

O ok sorry

[Jayburd]

It's OK Nathan, I always used to want to know what people kept too
as for some people like you and me you can look at the signature

[jusdeb]

The signature is a safe way to show what birds you dont mind telling people about . Sadly in this day and age having a bird you want to tell the world about has to be kept a secret .

[Brett]

That will do me

Not telling forum members what birds you have is a bit over the top

I have canaries,Goulds,hope they are there tomorrow....

Thanks Brett. I had a chuckle. Unfortunately it really is a serious problem.

And for this very reason is why some breeders don't wish to sell to the public so that nobody knows exactly what they have or how many. I know a gentleman that won't let anybody at his house but would rather meet somewhere else, the only problem is that you can't pick the birds directly and there's always a chance that if something else catches your eye that you might purchase it which I told him and all he had to say "well what else you after tell me and if I got it you can buy" the problem with that is I let my eyes do the buying sometimes and buy a good bird just on looks even though I don't need it- always think to pair it up later.
