Picking Your Parrot Breeder

Hand rearing or feeding while dealing with the baby parrots is one way that breeders can instruct early in the parrot’s life the importance of relating with humans. Breeders should begin to handle the responsibility of weaning baby parrots at 10-12 weeks of age by implementing into their diet a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables, soft foods, pellets, and seeds.

Cage Care and Size

Some parrot owners prefer to clip the wings of their parrots to regulate their cage size or to make it easy for their parrots to roam free. A serious parrot breeder will know the importance of keeping their parrots safe in a cage while unattended, not limiting their wing development. A smart parrot breeder will know that baby parrots need to have time to fledge, allowing time for their feathers to grow. Parrot breeders will know that this is something that young parrots need to have to aid in their growth, balance, development and overall happiness.

Most parrot breeders are enjoying, patient, devoted bird owners. Having said that, there are some parrot owners who breed parrots for the sole purpose of making a profit. browsing potential parrot owners should do their research. Knowing what to look for in a parrot breeder will aid in discovering that special parrot companion. Parrot breeders should feel relaxed answering any and all questions that a future parrot owner would likely have. They should offer the chance to see the breeding facilities, aviaries, and parrot cages.

Facts About Parrot Breeders

There are many different types of parrot breeders available and all offer different breeds of parrots. Like everything you have the chance to purchase parrots from online breeders or offline breeders, depending on where you live. This article will endeavor to explain every question there is about parrot breeding and parrot breeders as well.

Online Parrot Breeders

How do I find parrot breeders online? How do I know if they are reputable or not? These are some of the questions I get asked a lot. Basically it’s extremely easy to find a parrot breeder online. All you have to do is run a search on one of the search engines, using the following information corresponding to your search, “parrot breeders “town or city of choice”". This information will bring up a list of the top breeders online. Now all you have to do is sift through the list and find the most appropriate one for you. Basically most breeders online are going to be reputable, but just to be sure, make sure you are able to give them a phone call and I would recommend talking to them in person before you decide to make a purchase.

Essentially you are looking for a parrot breeder in your area that will allow you to come and check out the parrots he or she has available. Also many breeders will actually deliver the parrots to your doorstep but I wouldn’t recommend doing this. It’s best if you go in person to check out the parrots they have available first and then make your decision from there.

Offline Parrot Breeders

Basically offline parrot breeders are just breeders that don’t advertise online so you won’t be able to find them by running a search on the internet. The best way to find one of these breeders is to contact the local national wildlife center and ask them if they know of any parrots breeders in the area. In many cases there are small time breeders who believe it or not generally have the best parrots available, due to the fact they are so passionate about what they do. Also you should be able to purchase a parrot for much cheaper then if you went through a more commercial breeder.

Things To Be Wary Of

Some of the things you have to be careful of include, making sure the parrot breeder is 100% reputable. You have to make sure you know where the parrots are coming from because in many cases, people have been sold a parrot that has come from the black market. This is just one of the things that is turning people away from purchasing parrots and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The only type of parrot that should be kept in captivity is a parrot that was born in captivity and doesn’t have the ability to make it in the wild. Black market parrot trading is wrong and should be condemned.

It is generally illegal to catch wild Quaker parrots or import wild birds into the United States due to the inhumane treatment of the birds. Avoid stressing or killing wild birds and simply visit a Quaker parrot breeder with tips from aparrot breeder in this free video on bird care.

Learn The Amazing Facts About Parrot Breeders is a post from:

Unfortunately, parrots in the wild are facing extinction. The causes of this are mostly man-made, because they have a destroyed  the habitat, food supplies, and capture many birds for the pet trade. Importing wild parrots is now illegal in both Europe and America, so if you would like a pet parrot you will have to go to one of the available parrot breeders. Although some breeders do supply a lot of the pet stores.

The negative side of parrots is they take a lot of looking after.This is mainly due to the fact they either die immediately or live as long as a human being. Apparently, Winston Churchill are the parrot which swore like a trooper and was over a hundred years old. Parrots take a lot of looking after and are high maintenance birds, with special needs.They are also very intelligent and smart and often get into trouble.

This brings most parrot breeders to a very important ethical question. Which is a small percentage of human beings should not have parrots as pets. Unfortunately, many parrots end up being abandoned. If you decide to be a parrot breeder, you will need to be responsible in finding a home for the babies. This means you should offer to have the baby back, if in the future the person can no longer  look after it.

Some species, like the hyacinth macaw are near to extinction both in the wild and captivity, even so there are not enough homes for those in captivity. Many people only become parrot breeders, off the taken birds in as a rescue, and before they know it there laying eggs.

It is very clear that the parrots already in captivity need to be taken care of now. However, what about the descendent’s?Amazon parrot breeders in South America are you trying to raise birds that will be able to fend for themselves. The plan is to then release them back into the wild.

Also, good parrot breeders are trying to end the sales to pets stores, so they can pick the individuals they would like their baby parrots to go to. They are also hopeful that with the right education more people who know how to take care of parrots.

Hi,

I am looking for a parrot breeder in Ohio, near Columbus. I would prefer a breeder of large parrots (Macaws, Cockatoos, African Greys, etc. Conures are ok too!)….I am asking because I want to see if I could work with a breeder. Thanks…

Howls,
Timber Wolf

Answer by cdsgeo2
There are many breeder’s in Ohio and many right there in Columbus.

Do a goggle.com and a yahoo.com search for Bird Breeder’s In Ohio.

I am not sure what you mean by Work With A Breeder.
The breeder’s I know, most work alone or with family member’s, some hire clean up help, but breeding birds are only attended to my owner’s that breed them.
Reason’s are many, but mainly because breeding birds often will stop breeding if the situation isn’t safe and/or the male will attack and often kill the hen during breeding season.

Never confuse Exotic creature’s with Domestic one’s,
BIG Difference.

Answer by qpowner1
I imagine there will be an aviary near you that raises Quakers. You’ve done your homework on them, I hope. They’re an amazing bird but you need to be prepared for their quirks. Definitely not a bird for a first time parrot owner and you need to spend quite a bit of time with them. A lot of parrot in a small package. Other than that, they can be clowns with the right person and talk up a storm.
There are several websites in the UK, with information regarding both aviaries and private sales.
