Cutest Bird Ever!!!
Came across this info and thought it was interesting so I thought I would share. It comes the American Pet Product Association
Pet Industry Market Size & Ownership Statistics
You have to scroll down a bit to get info on birds. But apparently there are 20.3 million pet birds in the USA. I wish they had broken it down more in to type of birds.
I was kind of surprise how little we pay for pets themselves. Obviously caring for your pet properly is quite costly. But I don't know the numbers kind surprised me. The 2.1 billion is definitely a lot but it seems small percentage of last year's 66.75 billion in total spending. I like to think that's good thing and that's because it's so small that it's therefore easier for change to happen. As I love to see how animals is the pet trade are treated. I also hope it means that most people really are willing to spend money on proper care too. Just my 2 cents
