Hi guys, Mike from Brisbane Birds
Now, I haven't been to a finch auction in 5 years.
So when this come up in my news feed
I thought I had to go
and I would bring you guys along for the ride.
So this is the Queensland Finch Society's Annual Finch Auction
And so, the main thing about this is that
unlike a bird sale which is a big rush
to get your birds
So you need to get there early
to get in there before anyone else
snaps up your birds
It's an auction.
So 9 til 10, you view the birds
and then 10 til 12 the auctioning starts
And so the only risk you have
is being out bid.
So as long as you don't get into a bidding war,
you can get the birds that you want
and hopefully not pay too much.
Now, the Queensland Finch Society
is a great society. Top Quality.
And is one of the best in the country.
So if you do have a chance to get
along to any of their bird sales, auctions
or even their general meetings
I highly suggest you do.
Well thats it for the Queensland Finch Society's
Finch Auction.
It was a really good auction.
Lots of birds being auctioned off
for relatively good prices.
There was a couple of highlights.
The Crimson (blood) finches
The cock bird went for $270
Another cock bird went for $180
and a hen went for $170
So there was some frenzied bidding around
that group of birds.
But really good stuff.
All in all , I'm little bit disappointed
couldn't find any birds for me.
I did place a few bids
but wasn't successful
So, it was still a good expereince,
great to be back at these auctions
and at these events.
