Buyer & Seller Information
Important Notice for Sellers
Sale Conditions - the Canberra Finch Club is following the majority of the CCBFA's NSW BIRD SALES AND AUCTIONS CODE OF PRACTICE
(STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES)
The main difference is that at CFC sales, buyers and sellers must have cages with the base, top, and three sides covered / enclosed. If sellers or buyers bring unsuitable cages,
then they will have to enclose the cage on the top and three sides with paper, cardboard, ply, coreflute or simuilar or alternatively take the unsuitable cage, with birds, away.
Also be aware of the number of birds in a cage. We do not want any overcrowding.
Finally our club is concerned at the growing level of pre-sale buying of birds at our sale. Buyers waiting are expressing concern that it not fair and why come.
Unless it is a proven pre-arranged sale of birds then ad-hoc buying / selling of birds will not be allowed. Remember if the buyers don't come then we will not have a sale.
The NSW Bird Sales Code of Practice, with CFC modifications, can be downloaded below.
