Are you kidding? Hard to find parrots? Geez here in michigan you can barely give them away ,there are so many that need homes!I live in Oregon as well! What area of the state? It is hard to find parrots in this state - when I bought my baby green wing several years ago I had such a hard time! And I was scammed by a breeder in CA, Michael Tran. A real scum bag who scammed many people all across the country, for many 10's of thousands of dollars. Your baby looks adorable - and Bisou is a great name choice!!

I have to be honest with you. A baby cockatoo is not ideal to get if you are over 50. It would be better to get an older bird and provide them a supportive home. Just myI don’t know what to do. I have been waiting for 4 months for a home visit from the rescue in our area, they never answer back. I took the class they require, but I can’t go any further with them as they just don’t contact me. The other rescue doesn’t give to anyone over 50 years old, or with children under 15. I’m out of luck there.

I feel bad to keep publicly bashing but I wouldnt feel right if I didn't say it- Birdman's parrots has had some reviews saying a few birds he sold had avian borno virus. They've since been deleted but I would not buy from him.Birdmansparrots.com

Christina, I'm so sorry about your bird. It's sad.More update :It’s very sad. Bisou died today. He was only 6 weeks old and had multiple birth defects and an enlarged liver. He had to be put to sleep. I’m beyond sad.
I got the photos this morning and I thought all was fine. Then a few hours later he didn’t taketwo feedings. Brandon took himto the avian vet right away. Brandon was crying when he left me the message on the phone. He was so sad. I can’t believe this happened .
