BGs sell for about $1100, Greenwings for about $1600 and Scarlets for about $1800.

Eclectus parrots usually sell for about $1,000 as do Congo greys and many of the larger amazons.

The mini macaws usually sell for $600 to $1,000 depending on the species.

I know where you can get a Scarlet for $1200. Hehehehehe

Ooooo.... yer so bad! Tempting a Hy-loving old woman like me, and here I'm so far away 'n' all....

$700 for Marley (TAG)
$650 for Goliath (Hahn's)
$1000 for Shiloh (BG Macaw), included her vaccinations and a certificate for the first vet visit (Which I thought was a STEAL)

If I hadn't gotten Shiloh when I did I was gonna hit Mike up for one of his scarlets:^)

The breeder I'm going through for my severe sells severs for $550 and B&G $800. I can't believe how inexpensive she is. Not sure how much her red cheeks or greenwings are though

I only paid $195 for my Tuc Birdy from a breeder. They want $549 at Petco! She also had some CAG babies for around $700. She had cocatiels for $30 which is what I went to get but saw my baby and fell in love!

Exactly why I won't buy gouldians--they're about as gorgeous as anything you could ever want to see, but GEEZ! They're so small and fragile--and expensive! I'd be scared to death I'd blink funny and they'd start dropping dead! LOL! As it is, I'm always counting those little zebra finches to make sure I still have the right number of them.... :-).

My CAG Jiminy was $950 from a breeder. The baby CAGs in the local pet store are $1299 and the BG macaws there are $1600

Mine was ~$50 at a birdfair.... he was a splurge!
