God dam it BB your dead right to be angry, it dont take much to get in touch and let you know the score. He should of been sincere with his intentions in the first place mate nothing worse than a messer BB and £350 seems a decent price to me for a quality bird what on earth is going on in some peoples mind doing things like this.

That's the price we all pay when breeding birds. I get those time wasting calls. Everyone does. I just MAKE SURE to remember who did it to me so I can do it to him if he ever calls again. Got a very nice peales tiercel sitting in the other room. This time the buyer had a good excuse so I didn't make too much of a deal. The bird that pays is the tiercel. He's a sweetie but I'm sure if I advertise someone will want him.
Tyre kickers! That’s what they call them in the motor trade.
I live in Newcastle, not that I know anyone from his end. I can’t stand people like this. Maybe his mother died?<g>
he better have died! cos thats the only excuse ill accept. ****.

I wish I had a couple of years experience under my wing, I would have had one off you.:cry: Hope you manage to get homes for all your bird's.
Similar sort of things happen in the building trade at times ,few times I've bought in or ordered a complete central heating system,booked the week to do the job and i get a phone call one or two days before the job starts,"sorry I forgot we're on holiday next week" or "Just balanced the finances and can't manage it til next month.". Some ppl don't realise how annoying this sort of thing is,in your cases 6 birds between you to find homes for very quick. In my case no chance of booking a weeks work over a weekend so loss of a week.A lot of money between us.Brian

No Ben it was said by a GOOD mate to be true.He had sold him a really white Gyr/Saker which lasted a couple of weeks he then found out of all the others.
There are plenty of time wasters ordering birds mind you.I can remember one guy ordering the first female harris three years on the trot...never bought one.Thats almost 30 years ago I still speak to him though...foolishly!!!!!
i told him i whould call him when i was on my as i was busy allday he said it was alright as he was off all day but when someone pesters me i get p--edof

The fellow I am getting my Gos off told me striaght away his conditions which were a £100 deposit down, half the price down when the chick was confirmed and the rest when the Gos was ready to be picked up. I paid him fully as soon as he confirmed I had a female.
The reason why the breeder laid these conditions down, was for reasons that is being mentioned on this thread this is that people kept messing him around. No body likes to be messed around there is nothing worse than a messer, the way he does it ensures some repayment should a messer turn up. Also people who genuinly want one will pay.

i reckon if you choose the bird you want from the nest then full price should be paid and for any unforeseen circumstance should arise ie death of the chick while still with the parents then a efund should apply that way no messing about will occur and will only get itendid serious buyers

I am in no doubt that the guy covered i this thread is the guy who I thought. The static display I saw was at Royal Quays at North Shields and there was a young lady on her own doing the display. I will say that the birds seemed in good condition, but I wasnt keen on how she would allow Redtails and EEO's to sit on the fist of a young 4 year old boy. After the mother had taken photographs she started to ask the girl a lot of questions cause she was genuinly interested. I heard everything cause I was standing right next to them. The girl from the display stated that they were always busy and taking the birds home everynight was a pain. She said that the birds were happy just to stay in their travel boxes in a back of a trailer which she left overnight at the rear of the shopping centre carpark.
I am definately not lying on this one cause I heard it. (I think Ive already said that).
As far as 17 birds dying, I guess this can never be proven. However, even half of this number is a matter of concern that should be addressed. I am sure that the council would have something to say about it regarding his performing animals licence.
In terms of facilities of Keith, I have seen them on numerous occassions, and have ordered birds from him (even though you dont do females you ****). His facilities are spot on considering he is a small scale breeder. His birds are very well conditioned and of good bloodlines. I would not even talk to a breeder if his facilities were undesirable. What you also find is that Keith is a very approachable bloke who openly shows and displays his breeding facility to show that he has nothing to hide. I know that there are a number who have dealt with him on here with regards to birds and I am sure that I could be backed up on this one.
Right Keith Ive licked you jacksie well clean here. Can I have a free female barbary or a male Lanner.
