    Anyone know where I can get some captive bred bangaii cardinals? I would like to get one from one source, and another from a different source. I would also like them to be decent sized. I would even be interested in wild caught that have been in captivity a long time.

    Thanks

    Your local store should be able to order some from ORA. I ended up keeping two of the captive bred that didn't sell right away and I have me a pair. Worked out great. ;)

    I don't see how that would be difficult for a store to do. It's not like the things are dirt cheap.

    Exactly, their not dirt cheap :lol: heck I know at least 20 of my LFS's couldn't meet even a $500 min at the local wholesalers (having worked the wholesale side for next to for ever it seems)

    FWIW< I haven't botherred with ORA LFS pricing in many many years. So, I can;t say what their min is now, but back then, it was pretty dang high. The store I worked at, was the only one locally that could do it like that.
