Tips for finding quality parrots for sale

Finding quality parrots for sale isn't easy. My brother Dave and
I recently created a product to help show people how to make
sure the next parrot they buy is from a reputable place... we even
videotaped that footage, and offer it in a full blown
How To Buy Your Next Parrot system.

But the reason I bring this up, is because one of my subscribers
just sent me this short, simple question that reminded me that
I'll never be able to stop telling people how important it is to know
what to look for when searching to buy a parrot, here was the
message:

Dear Chet,

Can you please tell me where I can find cheap red fronted macaws
for sale down here in florida?

Thanks,
NAME WITHHELD

Messages like this really scare me. Not because the person wan'ts
to save some money on purchasing a parrot, that's natural. But that
the only thing this person was concerned about was the cost of the
macaw.

Now I don't pretend to read minds, and I'm not going to judge this
person, but their quesion brinds up a great point...

Thousands of parrots are abandoned every year by people who
got into parrot ownership because they just wanted a pretty creature
living in their home. They're only concerned about price, and they're
soon to find out that without proper care that pretty little bird WILL
turn into a terror.

So before you think you need another parrot, please make sure to
stop and think:

Does the parrot I already own get enough attention?
Am I already spending an hour with them every day?
Will I have the time to train mynew parrot properly?
Is my family willing to cooperate with the training process so they
don't end up teaching the new parrot bad habits too?

And most importantly, have you done your homework on whether
or not you're buying your parrot from a reputable breeder, and
not just trying to save some dough.

All breeders are not created equal, so make sure you check your
parrot's breeder out, you wouldn't want to end up with a bird
destined to be a feather plucker, die of a disease that could have
been prevented, or turn into a biter.
