Our Suns have babies again. My friend sold the birds from the last
clutch, over 8 weeks old, weaned, although 2 of the 3 were the ugliest
Suns I've ever seen, to some guy that walked up to her at a swap and
offerred her $300 for all three. Can you beleive this? And I'll bet that
she will want to deduct the cost of the swap's table from my measley
$150. She didn't even ask me or anything. Hapenned that she bought a
Goffins that happened to cost her $350 at the same time. And, to counter
me paying for the table she also sold her umbrella baby for $750 to be
picked up later that week.
I am outraged. She stopped me from selling between $175 and 225 because
she was wanting to get more money. I also had two tentatively sold, one
to you and one to a guy in So. Ga.  And she didn't want to sell part of
the clutch.
I am tempted to take my bird back and just buy a male. I also would like
to just purchase the male. In the long run I would probably make better
money. I don't want to cause trouble as these are very good friends to
us, and they  do things like repair my van for parts cost. I can't
afford to piss them off.
In my head I have many reasonable solutions. But my friend is a real
alpha female and will likely start up a row when we discuss it. I feel
it's reasonable to say " you sold these; keep all the money on this one.
Then this new clutch I will take the 3 babies and I will feed them and
do the work and I sell them and keep the money." Or that from now on I
will give them their share of the same amount, ie, $150 and I'll take
the babies and raise and sell them. Personally I would like to just buy
the male.
I have the following on eggs: maroon bellies, green cheeks, brown
throats, peach fronteds, and rainbow lories. If any of the shops in your
area are interested let me know.You know where to find me! Big birds
ought to kick in next month.
Wish me luck.
