Hi,
I've just joined the forum with the specific aim of finding two pairs of Caiques. I'm after a pair of White Bellied and a pair of Black Headed that are reasonably mature and would be ready for breeding if not this coming season, then next year. I would prefer to find a breeder in or close to Melbourne rather than have them shipped from interstate.
As a short background, I am an aviculturist of many years having had and bred a variety of finches and parrots. I'm coming up to retirement later this year (August) and intend to change and expand my aviaries and variety of birds as I'll have a lot more time to spend with them. I'm currently building a new complex of 5 breeding flights which will be ready for this year's breeding season. The flights I'm building are 2.4M long with an additional 1.0M suspended section. They are 2.2M high and 1.0M wide and have an insulated roof. At the moment, I have Crimson Wings, 2 pair of Princess, Western Rosellas, Lineolated parrots, some Bourkes, Elegants and Turquoisines.
So, if anyone can assist with a contact for the Caiques, Melbourne or otherwise, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
