In my town, there is a specialized bird store that has been there forever. They know their stuff but so many things have changed as far as information in the last 20 years so their advice might be a bit old school. Like they don’t insist on pellets, they carry them and talk about them but push the seed diet mostly. This kind of sucks cus if you have new bird owners, you have a real chance to educate them without any bad habits to tweak. We are all still learning and new info is coming out all the time. Anyways, I digress. I was there yesterday, they have the staple big birds out on a stand, it a little sad, people come and they just stare at them, it’s like a little zoo. They sell birds here too. Here is their policy and I wanted to know your thoughts. They sell all birds unweaned, and at this point guarantee their health. They offer you to come in and syringe feed many babies and come often to bond with the bird and per policy, you have to come back once a week until they determine the bird is properly and fully weaned and take weight etc. If you don’t return, the health guarantee is void. I know they are kind of an in betweener between a glorified pet store and a breeder. What are your thoughts?
Please keep in mind that I have never purchased a bird from here, nor do I plan on it. Not that I’ve heard anything bad, I just prefer a breeder that has the parents as pets, so not tons of different pairs. Just wondering.
