Hi,
I’m new here not but not new to birds. I am interested in getting a Pionus (I like all the species). While looking on the internet it’s hard to tell but I would guess a lot are scams. I’m not a fan of shipping either. I have hand raised birds in the past but don’t currently have any birds. Are there any legit Pionus breeders on the East Coast (US) (I’m in VA). There is a bird store close to me with a pair but they are $6000 each and when I asked which species they were, the person working said they’d have to check with the owner. But they were kind of in rough shape, the tail feathers were dirty and missing. They didn’t look great - they might have been whitecaps or dusky. But I couldn’t tell. Any ideas? Or suggestions? Thank you!
