Good luck finding a grey-cheeked parakeet in the US. Very few were set up for breeding before the import ban in the early 90s. It's next to impossible to get your hands on a hand-raised, pet-quality baby these days. They just don't breed as readily as hoped.

Hobbit -- You had mentioned two "bee bees" for adoption on Petfinder -- they are canary-winged parakeets. They are the most readily available of the brotogeris parakeets. Breeders are having a lot of success with them. I have seen them for sale at birds-only pet stores and have even heard of them being available at pet stores, even Petco, from time to time. I don't think that you'll have difficulty locating one when the time is right :)
