Rolling Meadows IL bird fair - have you been there a question?

[Enna]

I was considering going to the bird fair in Rolling Meadows IL that they have monthly. I am looking for Gouldian finches and wonder how many of the vendors there might have them for sale. I have a ways to drive to get there so am trying to find out if it would be worth my while. I see they also put on one in Joliet, if you have been to that one what do you remember of it too. If you have been to either of these fairs do you remember about how many vendors were at each with Gouldian finches.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply to my post. I am looking for just Gouldian finches right now. Do you remember seeing them sold by many different sellers there? If so, could you estimate how many different sellers there had them? Thank you very much for your help on my questions.

Umm idk really the amount I know of one guy that had maybe 4 tables full of finches he had everything but i am not sure but I think their were a couple with singles. sorry I cant give u a straight answer.

If you really want to see a wide selection of birds available, check out the Midwest Bird Expo in Wheaton, IL on Saturday, April 5th. Its the biggest bird-only event in the Midwest and is held near the monthly Rolling Meadows fair.

They also have Bird fairs in St. Louis, Mo. Which are great. I go to them. They have Gouldians, Societys, waxbills. And many other birds. Lovebirds, Quakers, Macaws, Cockatoo's, etc.
