I'm not sure the quarantine stations can import psittacines [parrots] anymore, so if you want a large bird like a Macaw or a Cacatoo, or an African Grey, you will have to get one from a bird dealer or a pet shop. Rhonda won't let Me have another big bird after dealing with the mess and damage we had to contend with. lol I've always wanted a larger baby bird I could hand raise, but they're usually way out of price range for me. -- Maggie |

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. You have to really want a Grey at that price. If the bird gets sick and dies, it's on you, not the pet store. :/ |

Greater Sulpher Crested Cockatoos were extreemly popular in the 70's, and King Tut was the San Diego zoo's Mullucan Cockatoo greeter. He's gone now, and I think he was over 100 when He died. |

Cockatoo powder gets everything in the house that dusty look. African Greys put dust all over my furniture too. They're currently in a converted garage. Garage? They have their own room eh? :') I won't share My garage with My 1968 Chevy C10 short box pickup! That's My toy! |

That's the best way to have a bird as a pet. It's more expensive getting a baby bird raised domestically, but worth the expense. I'm not sure the quarantine stations can import psittacines [parrots] anymore, so if you want a large bird like a Macaw or a Cacatoo, or an African Grey, you will have to get one from a bird dealer or a pet shop. Rhonda won't let Me have another big bird after dealing with the mess and damage we had to contend with. lol I've always wanted a larger baby bird I could hand raise, but they're usually way out of price range for me. I used to know several breeders here back in the early 70's. I think I'll look in one of My old phone books and see if the #'s are still good. I'd really like another hand raised BIG Mullucan Cockatoo now that I can afford one. Greater Sulpher Crested Cockatoos were extreemly popular in the 70's, and King Tut was the San Diego zoo's Mullucan Cockatoo greeter. He's gone now, and I think he was over 100 when He died.

What is the significanse of your nym, "Mr. Macaw"? I keep parrots. Cool. I had a Military Macaw I named 'Crowbar' [He was a straight from the jungle bronk] a BIG male Scarlet macaw, and a hybred miltiary/blue and gold macaw I named 'Elvis'. I had a Moluccan cockatoo I named 'Keenya', and several other hookbills I bought and sold. I had a Scarlet Macaw that would bite my ear then say "Ouch!" If I dared to go anywhere near the Blue Fronted Amazon he was best friends with, he'd "say "No...." Elvis had his 6 foot wroght iron cage in the kitchen, but would pick the latch and get out so I built a perch on top of the cage for Him to roost at night. In the morning He would get down and trot down the hallway and get on the bed to wake Me up. He would pull My hare and when I opened My eyes, He would bob his head up and down and say "HELLO!" lol He would run down the hallway and get up on one of the kitchen chairs and wait for breakfast. I put a big bowl of seed in front of him, but he would just throw the seed all over the floor. He wanted MY breakfast! The rascal would eat pancakes and eggs with Me. Dayam cannibal! lol I bet he had beautiful feathers with all that oil in his diet! He would get out via the dog door and fly from house to house and scream down the vent pipes to hear his echo. 8-o He ate My fence in the backyard, and ate a hole in the driwall behind his cage. He was alot of fun except for his destructive beak! Did he ever bite you? Never, but that Scarlet Macaw did, and I still have a 2 inch scar on My arm. He was HUGE Maggie, and his tail hit the floor when he pearched on R's arm. I sold him to a lady [he loved Women only] who has him still. I've always said I'd only have a big that size IF I could hand feed it from the nest box myself and raise it so it would imprint on me and the family and I'd know it's personality and could train it from a baby. That's the best way to have a bird as a pet. It's more expensive getting a baby bird raised domestically, but worth the expense. I'm not sure the quarantine stations can import psittacines [parrots] anymore, so if you want a large bird like a Macaw or a Cacatoo, or an African Grey, you will have to get one from a bird dealer or a pet shop. Rhonda won't let Me have another big bird after dealing with the mess and damage we had to contend with. lol I've always wanted a larger baby bird I could hand raise, but they're usually way out of price range for me. Are you lot in alt.home.repair because of damage by birds? -- A bleached blonde and a natural blonde were on top of the Empire State Building. How do you tell them apart? The bleached blonde would never throw bread to the helicopters. |

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. You have to really want a Grey at that price. If the bird gets sick and dies, it's on you, not the pet store. :/ You can insure them, but it costs about half a parrot a year. Greys aren't that expensive, Macaws are more than double that. -- An expert is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing. |

The smaller birds are as well, like the Cockatiel and Budgie. They are very easy to breed as well. My daughter has the cockatiels, and when I bought myself a budgie it feel in love with her cockatiel and had to go live in that cage! I had a Macaw in love with an Amazon. If I tried to pick up the Amazon he'd shout "NO!" -- The three types of marriage: Polygamy, bigamy, and monotony. |
