We try to educate or in some cases re-educate parrot owners how to maintain and keep your birds and parrots healthy and happy. When purchasing a new bird or parrot even if you already own birds, its a good idea to get all the right answers before purchasing a new species. E
very species of parrot is different and in some cases even within a species there is also difference in each birds personality. We have seen many people make the mistake of purchasing a parrot species based on color, or another persons experiences, or based on 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. 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. make it a forever home. 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 bird foods, bird toys, bird 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 $1500 and upwards to $3500 and more. We always recommend stainless steel bird cages for all our babies. The purchase of your pet bird should not be taken lightly. If you are not able or willing to spend a little money to properly maintain your bird, please do not call us. Also we have many people who ask us what species of bird does not require too much time?, a bird that they do not have to get out of a cage and deal with often?, or some tell us that they do not want a bird that is too clingy...OH BOY, please do not call us if you are not willing to spend time and give the bird some love each and every day..
