Benji66 4 Report post Posted July 26, 2014 Hi folks , Just joined the forum, I have kept birds for 30 odd years. At the moment keep Norwich and a few pairs of Lancashire Canaries, always admired the Zebra finch., and will now be looking for some quality pairs of Exhibition stock, Peter Harrison is a name I have heard of! have seen some pics of his stock, I would assume his birds are expensive, but pedigree stock, does have a price. Looking forward to posting on this fantastic forum., and will post some pics of my birds soon. Regards......Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benji66 4 Report post Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks Emmy for the kind comments , been to Stafford many times, great day out ! have done some great road trips buying stock, all over the UK . Always say best if you can travel , and see the birds you are interested in, that way you See how the birds are kept, and of course get to actually meet the person you are buying from, not everyone can manage A long trip I know, but always recommend you see what you are buying if possible.
