Question

Do any of you guys know where to find like a cheap quaker parakeet?

Answer 1

Everywhere will probly be around the same price if your looking locally.

Answer 2

For starters, be sure that wherever you live that quaker parakeets are legal. If you are in the US, there are around a dozen states I think where quakers cannot be kept as pets, due to the fact that if it ever got loose it could survive and compete with the native wildlife. Many of these are in the southern states.

Second of all, why are you looking to get a "cheap" quaker??? Is this because you are going to give it a "cheap" home??? Any and all parrots (even the small ones) require a roomy cage, nutritious food, routine vet care, a playstand, and plenty of toys to keep them happy and healthy. In my opinion, THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS CHEAP PETS, especially when you get into exotic parrots.

If by cheap you mean non pet store pricing, your best bet is to find a breeder and buy directly from them. However, a breeder is going to have invested their time into hand raising the parrot, giving it vaccines, and taking care to keep their stock healthy, so they will not be "cheap" but probably will be under a pet store pricing (as pet stores have to raise prices in order to make a profit). Another option is to go through a rescue, but they are going to make sure before they send any animal home with you that it will have all its needs met.
