756.0. "Silver Bill Finches" by GERBIL::DUPONT () Sun Nov 22 1992 18:25

    
       I have one silver bill finch along with my society's.
    I would love to get some more silver bills & start 
    breeding them. Problem is I can't find any in the Nashua 
    area pet shops. Does anyone know where I could find some?
    
    I would prefer to stay away from babies as I would like to
    breed them now- not months from now,(but I will consider it 
    if I have no option).
    
    Thanks- Chet

    Chet,
    
    Ask some of the stores if they can order them for you.  You can also
    find breeders willing to ship for you - check the back pages of Bird
    Talk, American Cage Bird, etc. for breeders.

    A finch that is fledged and weaned (ie; old enough to sell) is NOT 
    very far from an age where it could reproduce.  You wouldn't have to
    wait a very long time.
