Question Are there any lovebird breeders in Atlanta area?

I hope someone here can help! We almost bought a handfed lovebird this weekend but decided against this particular bird because he is very expensive and is a four-hour drive away IF we pay them another $75 to meet us. We're leery of paying so much and driving so far for a bird we haven't seen firsthand, know what I mean?

We figured hey, we live in a great big city -- there's GOT to be a sweet-natured lovebird for sale somewhere within a two hour drive. But after scouring the web and making a dozen phone calls I'm coming up empty handed. I really don't want to go the big box pet store route if we can help it! Any ideas?

Thank you so much!
Tiffany

Did you look here BirdsnWays Classifieds - Classified Ads: Pet Parrots & Exotic Birds, Pets or Breeders

I did a search with the keywords georgia lovebird and got several in Martin, GA. About an hour and a half from atl.

Thanks for that link -- I emailed two of those people. The ads were posted November 2007 but it's a lead at least!

BirdBreeders.com - Bird Breeders Directory of Availability and Parrot Breeders - you can search by state AND species
Pet Bird by Up At Six Aviaries - they have a classified (for sale & wanted section)
African Love Bird Society lovebirds agapornis - they have breeder links and a classified section
Hoobly Classifieds - you can search by state & species.
Kijiji United States: free local Classifieds Ads and Want Ads for Housing, Apartments, Furniture, Personals, Vacation Homes, Pets, Jobs, Resumes, Cars, Services, Events, Appliances, Discussions and more. - similar to Hoobly.com

There is a WONDERFUL breeder in GA called Shady Brook Aviary (Shady Brook Aviary - lovebirds & conures) - I'm not sure if they have babies at the moment but they might be worth checking out.

If you want to take a little trip there's a huge bird rescue in Harlem, GA about 10 minutes from where I live. Feathered friends forever Thats where my next bird will come from.
