Bear Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've noticed the price of CAG's varies HUGELY from country to country, so was just wondering what the average price is for a CAG whre you live? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzie Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I live in New Zealand, and my hand reared CAG was NZ$4500. I still haven't told my parents how much this bird cost, as I think they will disown me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawnee Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Here in Florida they go for around $1000. * I paid $550 for Cosmo at 4 weeks old. But I can attest that it is not easy handfeeding and raising a baby through weening and fledging. It requires a life altering time commitment. The added cost to get one fully weened and fledged is well worth it. I would not recommend buying an unweened bird to save money.

Birdnut Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here in central Texas we paid about $1500 for our CAG at a local retail pet store. I think they're a little high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki'sMinion Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Florida here also and seen CAG's for about $850 and TAG's for about $650 Those are direct from the breeder prices. Usually add about 50% to those prices for stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here in Calif I generally see cags from $750.00 to $1000. Some of the pet stores are around $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziebird Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 8 years ago (uk) I paid £650 for oz (met him at 8 weeks and he came to usat 18 weeks) and an additional £200 for huge cage, parrot proof water bottle, 20kg bag of seed, 4 toys, a textured concrete perch and textured swing, bell, large ladder, vits, cacivet and some food he was already on, He was from a trusted friend and the extra deal was excellent for set up, to be honest £650 is a drop in the ocean for the sheer pleasure you get from these 'pets'!

Luvparrots Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I paid $600 for my TAG, from a wonderful lady who wanted to find her babies good homes rather than make money. Thank you Millie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert58 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We paid $1400 for Leo (Timgo) and $1700 for Willow from the same pet store. We view it as a rescue on one hand, but on the other we hate giving money to those chain pet stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 We paid $1400 for Leo (Timgo) and $1700 for Willow from the same pet store. We view it as a rescue on one hand, but on the other we hate giving money to those chain pet stores. Yes we bought our CAG from a pet shop too but again it was more like a rescue! Our U2 we bought from the breeder direct although she was 3 times the price of our CAG. Our Vosmaeri Eclectus we bought from their previous owner. CAG's here in SA are much cheaper than anywhere else, you are looking at £150-£400, £400 being pet shop prices, although you cang get from breeders for £100...all handreared. Cockatoos are very expensive here though, around £1000 for a U2 in pet shops, a few hundred pounds cheaper privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessdecutie18 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yoshi my TAG was $900, almost fully weaned (down to one feeding a day), bought from a local breeder in Florida She is worth every penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvgrey Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We live in Southern NJ and we bought the CAG, large cage, toys, food, etc. as a package deal and the total was about $1,100 - they gave us a good deal because we bought a poodle, 2 bearded dragon lizards and this bird from them over the past 4 years.
