For me, the issue with breeding, is that there are already too many unwanted parrots. I don't see the need to breed more until every already-living parrot has a *good* home. The sheer number of re-homed parrots makes me cry. Most people don't know what they're getting into with a parrot, so many parrots get re-homed many times during their life. My own grey was also an unwanted re-homed parrot. I've had him 23 years. Can't really imagine deliberately breeding more domestic parrots. Just me, I guess. I BEG people, give a new home to a domestically bred parrot, don't just adopt chicks -- home the ones already bred -- they didn't ask for this life, yannoe.
