Well I got my first princess parrots on Saturday!!!!! They are sooooo beautiful! I really wanted some princesses (even though I'm not exactly short of birds) I will post some photos as soon as they have settled in.
I have (alledgedly) bought 1 cock and two hens all approximately 15 months old. I must confess they do look almost indentical I'll have to get more educated on sexing them to be sure of this, although 1 is feeding another so 1 must have at least 1 of each. His head is definately more blue but I can't tell the wing feather thingy they are supposed to have.
And I did manage to get to Beaudesert sale today, oh man was it hot out there!!!! It was in a big hall but there were so many people it was seriously like being in sideshow alley at the ekka! The poor birds all had wings up and panting. I turned up right on 10 when the ads said it opened but all the interesting birds were already marked sold, I'd say ( I may be cynical, forgive me) that all the vendors got to buy the birds they wanted before the rest of us got in. Never mind it was still a good look around, they had a fantastic variety, I love being able to see such a range a birds in the flesh.
So to prove I do posess some self control I came home empty caged, but that's okay I spent the rest of the day enjoying my flock at home
