Where do you get talking parrots from in England and how much would you expect to pay for them2007-11-24 17:26:48

Many people get them from other countries. Also are they hard to look after? I wanted to get my 9 year old niece one for her birthday.

Only problem is: She and her elder brother argue alot so something tells me that the parrot will constantly be saying something like :Sara is a dog! Sara is a dog!

If this happens does the parrot have a long memory because I'm sure their mum would like the parrot to forget this quickly in front of guests

Hi

A parrot is a lotta lotta work and not really suitable for a child pet. They take a lot of care and attention, are very expensive - and are not suitable for novice care.

Budgies are always popular as children pets and so lovely to look at. Cockatiels can sometimes talk too though I think they can sometimes be vicious.

Most people would say that you should never buy a bird for its talking ability anyway as some never speak anyway.

Hope this helps and good luck

I'd look in advertisements in the newspaper or something.I've never been to England so I wouldn't know where to get one.But parrots can be difficult because they are so big.If you're new with birds,why not try something smaller,like a cockatiel or a cockatoo?They can talk,but aren't as big.A bird as big as a macaw or a parrot can easily take a finger off if they get irritated.If you do decide to get one of these birds,be sure to get one that's already been hand-trained.

I think they are a endangered species If not they should be They belong in the wild not stuck in a cage for someone to play with.
