Answer 2

Read a bird book, flip through a few bird magazines, or search some bird Web sites to become familiar with the many breeds and their temperaments.

Step 2 Consider your needs. Do you like peace and quiet, or would you enjoy hours of daily birdsong? Do you have allergies? Do you like to keep all the windows open? How much time do you have to devote to your bird?

Step 3 Talk to bird experts at reputable pet stores, where birds are not overcrowded, underfed or living in dirty cages.

Step 4 Find out if the store has a health guarantee and what the terms are.

Step5Examine the birds carefully when making your purchase. Look for any sick birds, which are easy to spot when they're surrounded by healthy birds. Avoid those that have runny eyes and beaks, ruffled feathers, bald patches, or droopy wings.

Step6Find an avian veterinarian for the best health care for your new bird.

Answer 3

Honestly, I feel bad for birds that are kept as pets. All they do is sit in a cage. They can't fly.. which is what they were ment to do.

get a kitty or something. at least they can roam freeely.

Answer 4

There are a number of sites you can look on !!

But first consider looking on the sites for Bird Rescue Centres

these often are looking for people to take Parrots that their owners can no longer look after for one reason or another,they will only charge you a Small fee for taking these birds and you may be lucky and get what you want for considerably less.

There are two newspapers that advertise Birds and they are Cage & Aviary Birds ,Fur & Feather,

But try the Rescue sites first,you can get Ripped off if you don't know what you are looking for.
