BIRD PRICE GUIDE

2020 Edition

The Bird Price Guide has been prepared by The United Bird Societies of South Australia Inc.

It is a guide for the information of bird keepers in our affiliated clubs to provide an indicative median value that may be attached to birds within South Australia. The price listed in this Price Guide is for young sexed pairs. It was prepared from information submitted by some of our Affiliated Clubs and individual members of Clubs. In some cases, the prices were taken from a very small sample base and therefore may be distorted. It is recognised that people selling birds, are entitled to, and will, set their own values for their birds – taking into account the many factors that influence bird prices. Those factors include supply, demand, condition of the birds, breeding pairs, DNA tested birds, Show Bench quality, mutation values, age, etc. As bird prices are subject to so many factors, The United Bird Societies of South Australia Inc. can accept no responsibility for variations from the prices indicated in this Guide We welcome constructive comments and suggestions that will add to the status of the document and which will assist in the development of a quality guideline document. In particular, we strongly encourage all bird keepers to participation the next survey and enable this to be a more comprehensive document providing a wider range – and be a more authoritative indication - of bird prices for the benefit of South Australian bird keepers.
