Stockists of weavers

[Waxbillman]

hello all

might it be useful if we a a directary of traders/pet shops who sell weavers, and how much for?
This might help people who are thinking of setting of with weavers, so they know how much roughly they can expect to pay and where from.

Primary Flight seem very reasonable though they only have 3 types.

The red-billed weaver at £10 a pair

The Masked Weaver at £16 a pair

and Red Bishops also at £16 a pair

not allot really compared to some prices i have seen

Matthew

[josoll]

Ponderosa aviaries nr Cheltenham ,have breeding family of Half masked comprising of breeding pair and their two young for £50,a pr of red bishops £35!,and i think there was another pr but i cant remember the details. The half masked have been thee for at least a couple of months

[Waxbillman]

thanks for that, now that a very good opportunity for some, a breeding pair and young ens

Matthew

[chris]

:shock: breeding family of half masked weavers! hmmm how far from the west midlands (birmingham/Dudley) are we talking?

Right, MBF have Orange Bishops £25 pr, black capped social weavers £80 ( i think that's each aswell, only catch is last time i went the sexes were indistinguishable) also Yellow crowned bishops £20pr if i remember right

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

hello Chris, get them if you can, thats a great opportunity for you.

Matthew

[josoll]

Have spoken to Ponderosa and they now say they are Vineous masked? is that better or worse?

[chris]

Hi matthew,

i know mate, i've got between £50 -70 worth of canary and quail ready to sell, so if i can get them sold on then i should definately have the money to buy the weavers. only problem will be getting them (picking them up) and persuading someone that not only do i need the birds, but i need them to take me:neutral:

ah well, 18 now no excuse for not being able to get a job!

Chris:wink:

[josoll]

Because i couldnt find the name they gave me i have rung again and spoken to the organ grinder and they are Vitelline masked weavers, so are they worth the money?. I am going to call round there tommorrow to have another look.

[dave85]

hey chris,

Where abouts are you?

As im in Nottingham, east midlands - where abouts is mbf? as i may be interested in getting some weavers.

Also matthew, where is the place with the 3 types of weavers?

Thanks
Dave

[Waxbillman]

hello Chris, why don't you kill two birds with one stones (not literally) and do a swop take some of your birds down there ther that you want to sell and do i direct swop, then you don't need to mess about finding the money, and also gives you an excuse to get a lift down there, with some begging.
i don't no whether they would do a swop, probabily i've swopped mty birds many times over the years at Markham, but i know then anyway because i work there for my 2 weeks trident a few years ago.

its worth a try....

Dave Primary flight is in south somercoats, nr louth, lincs, my friends got a very good deal off him for blue-billed firefinches.

Matthew

[josoll]

Matthew are the Vitelline more desirable than masked?

[Waxbillman]

Hello Josoll

well i'm no expert on these you'll have to ask the weavers people, but the Vitelline does look nice, i suppose its all down to preferance,
but its surely a great opportunity that i hope someone one here doesn't turn down, if i had the room, and lived nearer i'd snapped them up like a shot.

Matthew

[laurab]

Hiya

from the information I have the Vitelline Masked Weaver and Half-Masked Weaver (Ploceus vitellinus) are the same bird. ;-)

[josoll]

Ive a pair of rosa's which i tried to get him to take for part payment,but no go

[chris]

Hi josoll,

as laura has correctly stated the vitelline weaver and half masked weaver are the same bird, it is also known as the southern masked weaver. for £50 i don't know mate, they were sold at £16 pr by John on FF3 and he imports birds for a living. i would pay £50 for the lot of em as i am desparately after some.

as for what they look like, i'll find you a picture out mate

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

:) Hello Chris, what a stunning bird Chris.


...........if only i had the room.

Matthew

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello Josoll,

Considering the fact that there is a breeding pair and their two young for £50, I would say it is a great deal mate!!:wink:

Yes there are currently Dealers offering these Birds between £16 and £25pr, but for the extra money I know which ones I would rather have.:grin:

Paul.:wink:

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Matthew,

At the moment I'm not sure of the Weaver Species available at Dorset Birds? But I will post a list of what is available and the prices as soon as I find out, as well as any other Bird Dealers in the South.
I will also post what Whydah Species are available.

Paul.:wink:

[dave85]

hey matthew,

How far away is it from lough? as i have a friend who lives in lough, so could go with her for a night and pop in :P

Thanks
Dave

[Pyxel]

Where are you planning on "Popping in" Dave? Sorry mate :smile:

[jimmy]

"so could go with her for a night and pop in"

Thought the same as you Pyxel. 8-)

Maybe we could make it a forum meet and all pop in :shock:

[Pyxel]

I like that idea Jimmy, the thought of us all "Popping in" is quite... nice :neutral: :wink:

[jimmy]

As long as Dave does not mind Pyxel :rolleyes:

[Waxbillman]

:lol: bet u wished you never said owt

Jimmy and Pyxel,

Dave was wanting to know where primary flight was, and how near it wat to Louth, of at least i think he was.

to be honest Dave i have no idea, once out of yorkshire and into in Linconshire i am totally lost, go to multi-map.com you'll be able to find out then.

Paul,

thanks for doing that, when i next go to harligton birds i will get the prices they never have many weavers and they are all kept in one outside aviary throughout the year, if a remember there was a mixture of birds in there.

Matthew

[kenny]

whats all this popping in business ,i have been out of action for a few weeks and if there is any popping in to do i will have to pop in first as i havent popped in for quite a while,...............a good road map site is get me there buy toyota and its free and its a great site

www.getmethere.co.uk (http://www.getmethere.co.uk/)
ken

you can download on to your mobile as well!

[chris]

Just spoken to my dad and it looks like i'm in with a chance of getting the weavers:grin: he's prepared to take me so all i need now is a miracle that 1)they are still there, and 2) £50 or an exhange of 10 canary and upto 7 CPQ

aparently it's a 45-60 min drive away so isn't that far

Chris:-)

[Waxbillman]

good luck Chris, i hope you get them.

Matthew

[josoll]

Chris,Been to Ponderosa today,they are still there,he wont shift on the price, not sure about canaries he does have a lot in today. I dont know if you know the way,When you get off the M5 head down the dual carraigeway towards cheltenham.At the first roundabout take first exit then after 100yds turn left,then just down this road the road bends to the left with a junction going straight on,go straight on and the dundry nurseries is just down this road on the right,through the nursery shop and ponderosa aviaries is at the back.Hope you get them.:grin:

[dave85]

I shall stay with my friend and visit the place i meant, all you sexually orientated minds lol over thinking things.

I dont know the address to the aviaries so how could i map it? if i could be given an address please then i can map it.

Anyone got any finches, weavers, etc for sale? or exchange?

Thanks
Dave

[chris]

Hi josoll,

cheers mate, i'll write that down just incase the GPS in the car diecides to play silly buggers like it did last time... it sent us down a road that no longer exists!

i did ring about a trade for the canaries, but he isn't interested so must be because he already has a load like you said.

Chris:grin:

[Waxbillman]

hello Dave depends how your mind works, either way, i don't think you will be saying your 'just popping in' any more :lol:

all i know is its in south somercoats, nr louth, linc's

his number is 01507 358179

Matthew

[chris]

Hi all,

i've picked up all of the hald masked weavers today:grin: one proven pair, and 2 youngsters that both appear to be hens, but time will tell. they also had a pair of red bishops which was very tempting, and even more tempting was the proven pair of napoleon weavers they had for sale! i wish i had taken more money now as i'd have had the lot!

i'll get some pictures up tommorow if i can

Chris:wink:

[josoll]

Glad you got them Chris:grin: ,i go over there quite regually just to see whats new;-) ,will post on here anything thats interesting.

[PAUL HEARN]

Good on ya Chris,

Well done on getting the Half Masked mate, I look forward to seeing the pics.:grin:

Paul.:wink:

[laurab]

WOW Chris!

What a boost for the Weaver breeding program, well done mate!!! :razz:

[Gary]

nice one chris, hopefully they will breed agian for nxt yr

[Waxbillman]

well done chris,


thiese birds will hopefully set you up well for breeding next year.

i look forward to seeing the pictures., that Jossol for letting us know, and please do keep us enformed of any other good birds

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Matthew,

i had a good long chat with the person incharge (also called Chris) and he has said that if i send in an e-mail every now and again he will do his best to send me a stock list of the birds they have:grin:
it's not actually that far from me as it only really took an hour to get there, and it's one of the best if not the best place i've been so far for birds. the selection was fantastic, cages of red eared waxbills, gold breasts, a black cheecked waxbill (very tempting as that is one of the waxbills i hope to try out in a few years time), a cage full of greensingers, loads of cages of canary, CPQ, Budgies, cockateils, other parrotlikes, and 3 lovely looking bob white quail which is another species i wish to try in the future (possibly sooner rather than later as i noticed my dad's interest in these also:wink: )

i look forward to the day i re-visit, which will no doubt be the next time i have cash and they have weavers lol

it's also the first place i've been where they actually give the weavers a good diet rather than a bit of foreign finch, he had provided mixed millet, millet spray, bogena softfood, and a pot of mealworms! fantastic!!!

Chris:grin: :wink:

[Waxbillman]

hello Chris


That sounds brilliant,

that would be good to get a price list regularly, sounds like its a top place then with the diet and all that.

did you ask who bred with them?

black-cheeks are lovely birds, i am tempted with them but i don't have enough experience.

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Matthew,

he did mention the breeder who brought in the masked weavers. he told me how he had bought the pair earlier in the year and placed them in his aviary and they had nested, then one day he notice 2 more birds in the aviary which turned out to be the weaver chicks. i think the reason for the breeder selling on the birds was from aggression toward the smaller waxbills he kept in with them. while i have never had agression problems with weavers to anything other than weavers, most of my birds are of a similar size, and the greensinger can take care of himself lol

Chris seems as facinated by weavers as i am and if was a breath of fresh air to be able to talk face to face with someone about weavers:)

i can't wait till next year now and to find out what these 2 youngsters turn out to be (i hope hens, or at least one). i reckon they will breed though as the cock i have hasn't stopped weaving since march.

as you can no doubt tell, i am really over the moon i've finally got these weavers!! i feel like a child with a new toy:-P

Chris:wink:

[laurab]

Chris, welcome to the Weaver Club ;-)

You mention them being aggresive towards Waxbills; I used to house Waxbills with mine and plan on doing so again next year, in my experience Waxbills never caused them a problem :-?

I wish you every success with them next year :razz:

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Chris,

I'm really pleased for you mate.:grin:

But your excitement for getting your hands on these Birds doesn't show at all, the best of luck to you in breeding from your new toy.:lol:

Paul.:wink:

[josoll]

Hi,Ponderosa have been going for many years,they used to be a couple of miles from where they are now, and that place was very impressive,lots of outdoor aviaries with everything from zebs up to the best quality parrots,and they had twice as much indoor space,that now has houses on !and the new site has nowhere near the quantity and selection as before,but they do still have good suppliers of birds.

Chris while i was looking at the weavers i did notice that one was being quite aggresive to the others including the cock bird,and it was especially picking on the smaller one that has crooked toes,hopefully with more room this will calm down. Wishing you every sucess breeding them.

[Waxbillman]

:grin: glad to hear it Chris,


i wonder if that man has any more breeding birds he doesn't want.
i was always told that weavers can be aggressive to smaller birds, or at least stop them breeding, but i spose with many things in life, it all depends on the individual, and the size of the accomadation.

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Laura,

the half masked weavers are that little bigger and more intimidating than bishops which could be why they caused problems with the previous owner's waxbills. the 4 i have just got also seem far more jumpy than the cock i have had for the past year, mostly likely the parents are wild caught, but at least i know the 2 young are captive bred.

Josoll,

yeah i have noticed the aggression myself, nothing major just seems like a bit of a pecking order. i think it is one of the young weavers that is picking on the adult hen, as the 2 young birds have bits of yellow on their shoulders, while the the other one is completely white. that's the only visual difference i have picked up on so far between the 3. i will be letting them all out into the main aviary afer next week along with the cock bird i already had. all the weavers are to be split ringed so i know who is who and can ensure unrelated pairs when i come to split the aviary up for breeding purposes.

i don't think i ever thanked you for tipping us off about the weavers, so cheers mate:grin:


Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

hello all

as promised i went to Harlington pet centre today.

they have the following birds that might be of interested to you all

black whydah's £30 a pair, now these looked like they were going through the moult as they had lost thir tail feathers, theres a chance they could have been another one, because they had small amounts of yellow on their wings, so may though is the Jackson's whydah? though without the tail feathers it hard to say

then in the outdoor aviary they were selling just whydah cocks £15 each, now the variety i'm not sure

cardinal queleas £10 there wasn't many of these but i was very tempted indeed, lovely looking birds

they had loads of yellow bishops, there have been at least 15 cocks all in full colour, one or two going through the ecilpse.

there was many hens though, these are £30 a pair

cocks priced at £10 each, again if i had the room i would have got some.

Matthew

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

hello Paul

Matthew

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Matthew,

I'm very sorry to say, I forgot to check out the prices I missed off of my post last night,:-| also I don't know if Alan has any spare hen Pin-Tails?

I will chase up the missing prices and Pin-Tail situation tomorrow.

Paul.:?

[Waxbillman]

thanks Paul

Chris:wink:

[dave85]

COMBASOUS £12pr
YELLOW MANTLED WHYDAHS £22pr

hey chris,

You missed those 2 :P :P :P :P

What are combasous like to keep? they are 1 of the non-parasitic ones am i right?

laura,

Do you ever get any problem with your cock jacarinis and weaver cocks? as they are black and orange and paul mentioned they have a dislikening to other black birds?

Thanks
Dave

[dave85]

Also the Black & white mannakins and magpie mannakins are both £15 a pair.

[chris]

Hi Dave,

looks again mate, i didn't miss it:wink:

[laurab]

Hi Dave


I've had no problem between the two species whatsoever ;-)

[chris]

so then, what's a combasous???

i've looked on the complete weaver & whydah species list and can't see it, and the only thing on the whole net i can find is a wanted thread on FF3!!

Chris:)

[chris]

Hi all,

more weavers for sale from a private breeder:

2x napolean weaver cocks, 20 pounds.(private uk breeder)

black masked weaver pairs,20 pounds.(healthy hardy import 6 months)

in the nottinghamsire area, if anyone is interested in these birds let me know ASAP and i will pass the details on


Chris:wink:

[laurab]

Hi Chris

Combassou's are a member of Whyda family, they are also known as Indigo Finch, Steelblue Widowfinch, Senegal Indigobird, Senegal Combassou, Senegal Indigo Finch, Red-billed Firefinch Indigobird and Village Combassou.

They are generally black with a violet blue sheen; head and wings greenish blue; tail washed with ash brown; patch on side of rump white; Iris brown; bill, legs and feet red.

Hope this helps ;-)

[Gary]

commbassou's are great little birds, the male a lovely steely blue/black, and hen brown

[chris]

now you mention it i think there was one up ponderosa aviaries when i went. i remember a blue/black bird, fairly small, with a white beak.

are they parasetic breeders?

Chris:wink:

[laurab]

Hi Chris

yes they are parasitic

[chris]

Hi Laura,

do you know what species nests they choose to lay in?

the bird i saw way about the same size as my napoleon weavers, might be what i go for over pin tailed-whydahs as they lack the large tail so shouldn't need quite as much space for their courtship? anyway, if the host species is easyish to keep/breed then i might go for those over red-ears but who knows i'm still in the planning stage

Chris:wink:

[chris]

no need,

i've found it, Fire Finches are the host species

Chris:wink:

[laurab]

Yep, that's the one ;-)

[chris]

Hi All,

one of my previous posts mentions Black Masked Weavers for sale, i've spoken to the owner and they are infact vitelline masked weavers £20pr ! if anyone wants to get involved in the breeding program here's an ideal oportunity for you! i would get them myself however the distance is a problem, and lack of cash and space doesn't help either

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

same here Chris

i'd love to get involved, but weavers and waxbills???

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Matthew,

to be honest even though these guys are fairly big weaver, they tend to be all talk and no action if you get what i mean. they'll chatter at each other all day long, maybe chase each otehr away but i've yet to see them fight or attack another bird. still, these ones probably aren't the best choice for housing with waxbills unless you have giant sized waxbills:-P

whoever the birds do go to i have asked for their details to be passed onto me so i can get n touch to see if they are interested in the breeding program

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

great, good luck Chris, even if no one will joing the society, at list you will have contacts

Matthew

[laurab]

I have housed and bred Gold-breasted Waxbills with my Weavers. The Waxbills will use the discarded nests of those of the Red Bishop, Golden Weaver, Red-billed Quelea, and Masked Weaver to name but a few.

[Waxbillman]

if only i had the room i would need to sell a pair or two - not an easily thing to do as each birds tell a different story

[dave85]

hey all,

Chris that guy with the weavers lives not far from me :P and im in contact with him.

could you post a picture of those type of weavers please?

if anyone is interested in them, i could get them and hold em?

Thanks
Dave

[dave85]

hey chris,

i maybe getting both pairs of those weavers :D

been in contact with him and hes done me a deal of £18 a pair, so is that a decent price for them?

hes going to take pictures of the exact birds tomorrow for me.

what information can you provide on these for me?

Thanks
Dave

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello Matthew,

I'm sorry for being so late with my reply regarding the Pin-Tailed Whydahs at Dorset Birds, unfortunately there aren't any spare hens and they are priced at £35pr.:roll:

I will fill in the blanks on my previous post listing the Weavers and Whydahs.

Paul.:wink:

[chris]

Hi Dave,

£18 pr is a good price for these birds, you won't get them any cheaper! they are the same species as i have bought recently, i have a photo lurking around in one of the weaver topics somewhere of these birds.

basic requirements, 50/50 foreign finch/mixed canary, bogena universal softfood, millet sprays, livefoods such as waxworm & mealworm. Sprinkle vitamin/calcium suplement over the livefoods when offered ad you can't really go wrong.

to breed these birds you'll need either a lot of twiggy branches and coconut fibre, or better still live plants such as the elephant grasses, reeds, russian vine and bamboo. alternatively you could try both, but they will strip the leaves down of a full grown elephant grass within a few days (by full grown i mean about a 7foot plant! although they can and will grow taller just not in an aviary)

Chris:wink:

[dave85]

hey chris,

You seen the picture posted on ff3 in the gallery of the 2 pairs?

one cock is slightly pecked but nothing major.

What type are they?

i'll try and post his picture of them in the gallery on here if it'll let me as ive been having problems with it.

chris hes supplied me with the diet they've been on and they havent had any livefood at all - only boiled eggs as a source of protein and he says theyve built but the javas destroyed nests.

Cant wait!

ill be one of the weaver gang!

im getting some white headed nuns too, the jacarinis when i can get up to him - i think me and paul fields are going on train to it maybe?

paul hearn,

if you read this could you PM me Peter moores phone number please?

chris ill look on various weaver posts for pic youve posted

Thanks
Dave

[dave85]

Yay! i worked out how to put me pic on!

so here it is incase you havnt seen it on other post - laura feel free to remove it if you consider it taking up too much space.

Thanks
Dave

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Dave,

I have PM'd Peters land line and mobile numbers to you, best of luck with the Jacarini's mate.

Also congratulations on posting your Weaver photo, but trust you to manage to get hold of something slightly different to the normal Masked Weavers, the cocks heads are entirely black!:shock:
I think you may have something other than the standard Masked Weaver Species, Chris I'll leave it to you mate to come up with the exact Species that Dave has.:D

Dave can you tell us the size of these Birds in comparison to another Bird Species such as, Diamond Firetail etc? I wondering if what you have there are Atlas Weavers?? If they are I want them!!!! :D

Paul.;)

[dave85]

hey paul,

arrange details with him now for collection as we both live in nottingham :P

cant wait!

chris is on the case i think! he said their a subspecies of a group beginning with a C he said.

whats the sientific name for atlas weaver? and why do you want them?

thanks
Dave

[Waxbillman]

hello all

theres a man called Simon in leicester advertising english bred Napoleon weaver £20 a pair, i don't know where he has on one pair or more, but i have e-mailed him.
he if advertising them on Chris Illes site.

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Dave,

Ploceus melanocephala

http://perso.wanadoo.es/sghnornitoloxia/IMAXES_GAL_ORNITO/Ploceus_melanocephala.jpg

Chris:wink:

[Waxbillman]

i don't know whether anyone out there is interested but he has 2 pairs left.

Matthew

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello Dave,

Following the link that Chris has posted I think the Birds you have are not Atlas/Little masked Weavers at all.:sad:

As far as I know the Scientific name for the Atlas/Little Masked is Ploceus Luteolus, I would have been interested in buying them if they were Atlas/Lesser Masked purely because they are another Species along with Madagascan Mannikins and Rhodospingus Finches that I have wanted to keep since I was very young.

Well done on arranging the Jacarini's with Peter.;)

Paul.

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello Matthew,

Thanks for bringing the Napolean Weavers to our attention, but it seems that no one here has the room for them.:neutral:
I do hope though that whoever does buy these Birds that they will become involved in the breeding programme at a later date.

Paul.;-)

[chris]

Hi Matthew,

i would have them but as usual, no space or money, and it's a bit far for me. if the pair at ponderosa aviaries are still there when i have sold off these bloody canaries and CPQ then i'll go and get them

Chris

[Waxbillman]

hello Chris,

have you advertised them yet?

Matthew

[chris]

Hi Matthew,

i rely on pet shops to sell off my excess birds, mainly because i don't want people i don't know coming down and seeing my aviary etc, as there's plenty of dodgy people around here and i wouldn't be suprised if all my birds vanished the night after:mad:

unfortunately the 2 petshops i regularly go to aren't interested at the moment as they already have plenty

Chris

[chris]

Hi all,

can anyone give me the average price for a pair of Bagalafecht Weavers?

i'm sure someone has said around £30pr but i can't find it anywhere, and i've been asked by someone

Chris;)

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Chris,

The price of the Weavers you are looking for will vary a great deal in price, £30pr will be the minnimum with a price as high as £50pr.

Paul.;)

[chris]

Hi Paul,

cheers mate i knew i could rely on you for the answer

Chris;)

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Chris,

No worries mate, I just hope that whoever asked you about these Birds manages to find and buy some, the only Dealer I know to have offered this Species for sale is C&J Bird Brokers.
These Weavers are one of the most beautiful Species I have ever seen and I regret not buying some when I had the opportunity.

Paul.:roll:

[chris]

Hi All,
