That info has been greatly appreciated. We are unsure of this whole breeder thing, and as we were looking saw the deposit thing, but now that you explained the handfeeding I understand why they do this. I also noticed that some people had backed out after doing the deposit. We have a fund set aside for our little one(s), and we plan on getting our hardware, i.e. cage, travel cage,toys, etc. before we put money down. I just thought that you bought your bird and then when they were ready to come home they did. I didn't know that people backed out of this. It seems silly for someone to back out when they have taken the time to find a breeder. But I guess there are still those impulse buys.

We have researched about as much of the species that we can possibly research. All my searches keep coming back to the things we have already learned. So now we just need to understand how to buy and finding a breeder that we trust and feel is right for us, and continue saving. I am sure as I speak to or talk breeders I will probably ask some more questions. Thanks guys.
