The bird sale season has begun with the first large sale at Orange done and dusted. From all reports it was a great success with many sellers and buyers. I’ve had many mixed reports on how successful the breeding season has been both good and bad. One breeder I know had a great year with Masks and Diamonds, but a disaster with many others. I personally didn’t have anywhere near the amount of green food variety I normally would have available, so I think that had a negative impact. Next year, I will be planting some raised planters and growing my own to be sure of a regular supply.
The Hawkesbury Finch Club is a branch of the Finch Society of Australia Inc. and has been established since 1986. We are located at the Castlereagh Community Hall, on the corner of Castlereagh Road and Shaftsbury Avenue, Castlereagh at the foot of the Blue Mountains. It will only take you approximately 13 minutes from the Mulgoa Road exit on the M4. The club meets at 7.30pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month, except December.
