I'm having a really hard time finding a breeder in my area. I would love to add a GCC or a Tiel to my home but would really prefer to buy from a breeder as a baby instead of the ones at the pet store. Mainly because I want one that is at least hand tame. Anyone have any suggestions on locating a breeder or know of one in Kansas?

why not add a rescue...there are so many tiels out there that are just discarded..in fact, the rescues are so full, they are turning them away.

too bad your not near me, This weekend I'll be pulling 4 Tiel babies to hand feed
Will be setting up my Green Cheek pair again in a few months - They've only had one baby and OMG he was a absolute DOLL - I hand fed him too

Anne... as long as the bird is hand tame, I am completely open to a rescue or rehome bird! I still have no idea where to start looking though.
Kelli... now I am just jealous! I so wish I lived closer.

A lot of breeders post on Welcome to Hoobly or BirdBreeders.com - Bird Breeders Directory of Availability and Parrot Breeders
I would really encourage you to search for one in a rescue. I have a 6 yr old GCC from a rescue and he's PERFECT! Hand tame, good eater even though he doesn't eat much... he's still willing to try anything I give him, quiet, I couldn't ask for a better bird. He was surrendered because he "bit the kids" The kids who were sticking their fingers in his cage and God knows what else to terrorize him. I don't have any kids yet, but he doesn't mind my neices & nephews any, and I don't let them bang on his cage! It's just common sense. So, you can find a truly wonderful bird in rescue!
I also fostered another from a different rescue, in hopes of keeping him, but he turned out to be a man's bird and dind't like me at all. He was hand tame, he just liked to bite mine because I'm a female! lol
Once I started looking for a GCC, I literally found one within a few days in the rescue. I think for birds like that, and Tiels, it's so important to adopt, becuase soooooo many of them are without forever homes. I found mine right here in the re-home section! I had to drive 2 hours to get him, but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Good luck in your search!

I was going to suggest the same thing. I have 5 rescue parrots and they are all wonderful. And Buddy who lived at the rescue over a year is the sweetest most loving baby ever. And at leasrt around here, there are always so many tiels and conures that need good homes....
don't know where exactly you are in KS but i found a GCC breeder down in OK and am planning to get a baby from her
Oklahoma Green Cheeks! - Home (<...is the breeders website)

Try Flights of Fantasy aviary for some cute, well socialized babies: Flights of Fantasy Aviary. Eevie's babies at Ok GC are also adorable. Soo jealous!

What state is Flights of Fantasy in? I won't ship. I don't disagree with those who do, it's just my preference.
I'm taking note of everyones suggestions for when I am looking again later. But for now, my flock is complete. I added a baby Tiel a few weeks ago and a 1 year old Hahn's on Friday. This was posted before I had either of them. I am at capacity right now as I do not have the space for more. I'm moving next Spring though and will be looking then. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
