Here was the buy of the day and made up for mr arrogant. and his actions.
I was getting ready to leave and when i got to the parking lot a noticed some more people had come down to the right.
All the others were on the left when i had went in so i start walking that way and as i got closer i thought no it can't be!!

I stopped at a pen of Brassy Backs and the lady said $50 for the trio *no Thanks* they were the wrong color and appeared to have mites.
Turned and walked towards the direction of a small cage and a man sitting on his tail gate and i could swear it was PIGEONS!! SMALL PIGEONS!! My heart began to race was this day of disappointment going to become better??
I got closer and YES it was Pigeons!! Tiny little Figurita Pigeons The giddy child in me was thrilled But!! But !! there was a man looking at them NO!!
I sat down the cage with my unsold white fantails and looked at the man and said are those Valencia Figuritas I was trembling inside. He said Yes it's 2 mated pairs and this gentleman is thinking of getting them..... MY Mind was Screaming NO!!!.......But my face was just a smile and asking him about them and talking about how cute they were.
Then my mind screamed Shutup!! Stupid your talking him into buying them with all this positive talk.
I waited for what seemed like forever "sweating bullets" and he finally said he didn't really need them because he didn't have a place to put them. My brain was jumping around on the inside of my head and every nerve was standing at attention.
The man walked away and i ask how much he wanted for them $15 a pair i knew i could only get one pair. I needed to buy feed and other things so i guess i could settle on a pair.
Then i saw the 2 fantails eyeballing me and it hit me maybe mr arrogant. could help me out on this after all. I found him and said how about i sell you these for $20 and he said well i just don't know and then rubbing his head said okay.
I said thank you and i needed the cage to buy some pigeons down there he said ""Pigeons down there!!"" Where!!
What kind are they!! I said Valencia Figurita's and he said How many doe's he have and i said I'm buying all he has.
He walked with me down there and looked at them and said you got a good deal on those wish i had of seen them.
I was thinking "Yea" I'm glad you didn't.
So i gave him my $30 and he gave me his card such a dear man he was he said "don't hesitate to call me if you got a question or a problem" He is going to sell me some Chinese Owls this spring "What a Nice Man"
That really made my Day just standing there talking to him and watching mr arrogant walking away in a snit.

So heres a pic of the first pair and i will put a pic of the others on the next post.
