Cassius has another brother

[Birdlover]

... but not with me of course. Anyone interested? His breeder has a single male hatched last June, and he's a really wonderful baby. Sure would be awesome to have him go to someone here on the Ave

 

[birdlady]

[Gen120]

How awesome would that be. I hope he goes to someone on AA too.

I totally agree and he's an incredible breeder. Hmm, let's see...who else here might be interested...

If only I had room for another fid...

You mean other than everyone? I think it's just a case of everyone not having room for another fid, much less having the money (esp. for a hawkhead).

I have the room, I have the money.......to bad I have THE HUSBAND!

Well, anyone on the fence about this baby or want to persuade someone who might be interested, maybe these videos can help... http://forums.avianavenue.com/hawkhead-trail/11705-vids-my-hawk-headed-parrot-timneh.html

'Tis true indeed. Believe me on the cost factor no one knows better than me...

So why is a HH so much more expensive? I'm curious.

or east!

I would say it's because they we're imported very much before the import ban so they are very few in numbers here.

They're not very common and the exoticness factor probably pays a major role. They're one of the extremely few New World parrot species with a raisable ruff of feathers. Their character is also unique. Seeing one in person is really something. In Canada, they can be triple the cost and our currencies are nearly at par.

They are awesome, and worth every penny!

 

[PerfectlyParrot]

Oh okay, I thought you meant long-term cost not initial, but I can understand why they initially would be more expensive.

Oh, I totally agree, if I had a spare $4000-$5000...
