We have seen many people make the mistake of purchasing a species based on color, another persons experiences, or something they saw on TV or read in a book, seen it on the internet, etc. Just remember that very few "PET" birds, if any, ever live up to those well trained birds you hear about, see on TV or the ones you read about. Purchase a bird because its what you want and remember, its for a lifetime. It disturbs us when we hear of people that purchased a bird and then find out they decided to sell it and purchase another one because the first one  just was not what they thought it would be. This creates the cycle. Birds are not throw away pets. Birds are highly intelligent creatures, some even have human like actions and emotions. Many birds and parrots can get very attached to their owners. Do not just pass them around, make sure you know what you are doing. 

One important bit of info that one should consider is the cost of (properly) maintaining one of these creatures. You must consider the cost of bird cages, bird toys, bird foods, treats, avian veterinarian costs, etc.  Many cost are recurring monthly such as foods, toys, treats. We would estimate to properly maintain a medium size amazon parrot to other large birds such as a macaw or cockatoo you could expect to spend $30-$40-$50 sometimes more each and every month. Bird cages are one of the largest investments, some stainless steel bird cages can range from $800 and upwards to $2500 and more. We always recommend stainless steel bird cages for all our babies.

 So the purchase of your birds should not be taken lightly. If you are not able or willing to spend a little money to properly maintain these birds, please do not call us. When you are serious and ready for that special feathered friend and you are serious, we are happy to help you through it.
