Exotic birds under the hammer at Otjiwarongo
Agra's bird and poultry auction which was held at the end of June in Otjiwarongo attracted great interest, with a total of 40 people registered.
This follows shortly after a very successful Kekkel, Quack and Kraai poultry auction was concluded in Windhoek, where a variety of ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys were auctioned by Agra for the very first time.
At the recent auction at Otjiwarongo, Agra sold exotic birds. It was especially the poultry and pigeons that were very popular, but the parrots and lovebirds delivered the highest turnover for the day.
A total of 101 parrots and lovebirds were offered at the Otjiwarongo auction, as well as 92 poultry, 51 doves and pigeons, 26 finches and 22 pheasants and quail.
During this auction, Agra acted as the agent for Otjiwarongo's bird club, the Namibia Agricultural Society (NAS). The club's treasurer, Ben van der Merwe said they were very pleased with Agra's service and especially the marketing of the auction.
According to him, it is important that the public should be made aware of such an auction. Van der Merwe says the club hopes to offer another similar auction in November, with Agra as the agent.
Another Kekkel, Quack and Kraai poultry auction is also scheduled for 2 August at 17:00 in Windhoek at the Agra/Bank Windhoek Ring.
