yeah there are no true 'specialists' at a pet-co
at the petco back where i lived in texas there was a small animal specialist that always sold people cedar or pine bedding for their rats and hamsters and also recommended that they be fed the premixed food they sold there

im sure some employees know quite a bit about what theyre talking about but thats not because they are a specialist...

i have to second the recommendation to go through a breeder
youll probably pay less and will definitely end up with a better socialized bird

you can not, however, be sure that you bird will not die in a month.
you can take it to the vet and have all sorts of tests run to see if it is in good condition, but you can not be sure about the lifespan of any bird
