AZIMGHUR1990 3 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 I have been a soldier for 23 years but before hand i used to keep foreign birds with my father. I have now left the army and have decided to get back into showing/breeding birds and have chosen the Zebra Finch. Seems like a lot has changed in the last 23 years. bird room is built and cages installed just need to find the right birds to start me off again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pair of normal greys, 2 pairs of fawns and a grey white pied pair. (not exhibition standard but its a start. Looking for black cheeked and penguins if you know of any, I'm not scared to pay for them either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted December 28, 2012 Hi Shugster, I didnt think the sale would be on this Sunday-thanks for reminding me. Just been thinking -was it by any chance you who was buying a pair of Bengales finches at your first visit to the Milton of Balgonie sale? There was only 2 pairs of Bengalese finches left and I was buying the other pair when I was asked by the person selling them if I would mind letting this gentleman,who was buying the other pair have them and I could get mine at the next sale. He did say the person wanting them was just out of the army and was starting up the hobby again. So if that was you -you have spoken to me and you did go home with the two pairs of bengalese finches.

Emmy Hello there, Yes that was me, and thanks again for letting me get both pairs. I have since added 2 pairs of Java Sparrows and 4 pairs of Zebras. Heading down south soon to get some blacked cheeked zebras and some penguins. Trying to get mt birds from different places so as not have related birds. Nice to hear from you again. All the best.
