Mr Macaw brought next idea :
In the UK they're on Gumtree sold privately. Pet shops have a big
markup.

Same here in the Colonies. Pet shops mark up at least 100%.

I sold a baby Amazon for £300 to a petshop. He sold it for £600 1 week
later
(although that did include a £50 cage).
When I went in for seed a week afterwards, I noticed the bird wasn't
there,
so I said "Sold it already?"
He said "Yes" very quietly.
Me: "How much?"
Him: [mumble]
Me: "Hmmmm?
Him: "six..." (very quietly)

No grin? ^^

He was a little embarrassed. I can't remember why I sold it to him actually
- they go for £400 to £500 in local ads.

£500=$731.42. Baby Grays go for $1500.00 [£1025.35] in the pet stores
here.

Greys in stores here are from £750-£1000.

A Muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane.
Paddy ordered a whisky.
The stewardess asked the Muslim if he'd like a drink.
He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips!"
Paddy handed his drink back and said
"Me too, I didn't know we had a choice!"
