So I’m in the market for a couple of very specific birds:

A male Shama Thrush (Copsychus malabaricus).

A male Spinifex Parrot (Polytelis alexandrae).

I have a lot of experience rearing hatchlings, so I hope to find breeders who can sell me young birds to raise.

Anyone out there have any leads? I’m willing to travel within the US to retrieve said specimens.

Thanks!
