Nicky's breeder

[darth_mint]

I came across a number of real horror stories about how parrots are bred for the pet trade in "breeding mills" and the babies are sold off at less than six months old, before they are even weaned. It freaked me out, especially several accounts of how pet shops would sell unweaned baby parrots to ignorant customers who ended up accidentally killing them...

 

Right about then I decided to find out where Nicky came from, and seems this is it...

While I guess no breeder is ever going to be perfect, these guys seem to be doing a really great job. I'm glad I looked up this particular shop, which according to the website is the ONLY agent licensed to sell their birds. I will definitely be going back there as often as I can manage it.
