Thanks for your help Hi Shone, First of all welcome to AussieBirds, my opinion don't buy from a pet shop they will overcharge you for a couple of budgies, at the moment in pet shop budgies are selling for around $60 each, I suggest you seek a breeder and let your children pick their own bird. I have babies at the moment so if you want to come over and have a look at them you are more than welcome just let me know and I will give you my address. We also have a number of budgie breeders on this forum and I am sure they will be able to help you out, I know Lairane has some birds for sale at the moment so you could contact her too. John |

I also have 4 3 month old budgies for sale. I'm at Chipping Norton, but John is closer to you at Randwick.

Seriously? I never charged above $25, and even now local shops here are charging no more than $30. Do you know what they are buying them in at? cheers, Mike |

The pet shop in Westfields at Liverpool are asking for budgies $40 each or 2 for $75. I know for a fact that they will only give you $10. I thought that was bad enough but $60..........
