goldn1 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Is anyone else from Northern California going to Pleasanton Sunday, May 18, 2008?? I am going and thought it might be neat to meet others from here over there, even if it's just to say hi! My picture is on my profile, if you see me there be sure to say hi goldn1! Have a greyt weekend! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Darn it!! I wish I had read this thread a little sooner! I would have sent my husband, he is only about 10 minutes from Pleasanton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldn1 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Kristen, There's another one there on September 21st. My fiance' will probably make me leave the checkbook home next time though...thanks to Oscar the Blue Crown Conure I couldn't pass up for $150, even though I was NOT buying a bird....lol. Although he now wants an Amazon...hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Did you enjoy it? Was it nice? Did you make photos? Or was that not allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldn1 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I did enjoy it....they had several good vendors there, and some really good deals on cages and some of the birds. It was my first, so I don't really have anything to compare it to . I took my camera, but was so busy looking at everything I forgot to take any pictures...I'll try to remember to get some at the next one in September.

judygram Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Our bird club has an annual bird fair in June and I usually can get good deals on toys and things there. They have birds for sale also but it is mostly the smaller ones, budgies, canaries, keets, tiels and lots of finches, but you might find a few macaws, greys or a cockatoo or two:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldn1 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 They had everything from finches to macaws (oh, and two stands with puppies :blink: ) including a strange looking bird I'd never seen before that I can't remember the name of (wish I'd thought to get a picture of it). Some of the birds were reasonable or a deal, some seemed to be inflated for "show pricing", and some had a lot of birds crammed in to cages that would have been too small for even one bird . Finches, parakeets, cockatiels, and green cheek conures seemed to be very abundant. I guess because they are easier to breed, raise, transport and sell. All in all, it was fun. I got some deals on the stuff I bought and I will go back. :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that I could have made the most spectacular shots if I only would have thought of it which are now 'shot' in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldn1 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I carried my camera all day and didn't think once to take it out.....lol. Maybe next time since it all won't be so new . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
