Wanted

[Martyn]

I'm after a number of finches if anyone can help (preferably 05 birds)

1. 1 orange cheeked waxbill hen (or a pair and 1 spare hen). This requirement is fairly desperate existing hen is being hassled by 2 cocks.
2. 2 bronzed winged mannikin hens.
3. 1 pair of Spice finches.
4. 1 pair of Star finches.

Thanks, Martyn

i cannot help you with the spice finches or the mannikins but i know of a place in Doncaster who has a few orange cheeks (nor more than 3) i think there was a hen in there. and stars the waxbills are £10 each

Think Doncaster is probably a bit far for me to fetch them - I'm based in Northants. Thanks anyway.

Hi Tom,

If Doncaster is too far for Martyn to travel, then I'm sure Hampshire may be too far as well,:sad: but out of interest what other birds do you have coming your way apart from the Orange Cheeks?

Paul.;-)

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Tom,

Paul.;)

[cooltom28]

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Tom,

Has the Parrot man been converted?:lol:

Seriously though, I hope you manage to breed from them.

All the best, Paul.;)

[cooltom28]

there is no way you will convert me completely but for the time being yes

[Waxbillman]

hello Tom

who the hell could anyone mistake a Gold-breast for a orange cheek

Hi Matthew,

You would be surprised by what goes on by ordering from Continetal suppliers to what ends up on your doorstep.

Paul.:D

[Waxbillman]

were these really mistakes though Paul? or just a money making scam>

Hi Matthew,

This subject could become huge mate, in some cases it starts at the country of origin, but the worst example currently exists in the UK with a couple who dominate the for sale pages of C&A Birds, with these people you can order a pair of Tri-Coloured Parrotfinches, pay the money for the birds you have ordered only to end up with a pair of Blue Faced Parrotfinches worth far less than your order that you have paid for.:-x

Paul.
