I have to agree with those discouraging buying live animals from a flea market. I think it is supporting people who are selling live animals for profit.
Good luck with your new parrot. I hope you are fully aware of the commitment and care that a bird anywhere in the parrot family requires. A puppy is much easier.
Many many exotic animals and parrots do fall into that category, end up in rescues and often with neurosis as the owner did not understand what owning one and the number of years of commitment involves.
I would love to see it be illegal for sales of any live animals at pet stores, through brokers, flea markets and live auctions of pet animals. |
