Trying To Find A Reputable Senegal Parrot Breeder
The three variations of Senegal parrots have done really well in captivity, making them one of the most common kinds of parrot in the pet trade ? and also in animal rescue shelters. Senegal parrots are one of the breeds often recommended for those who want a parrot. They are small, like people and have a delightfully goofy personality. This means a lot of people who shouldn’t decide to be Senegal parrot breeders. How can you tell a good Senegal parrot breeder from a bad one?
Can You Be Strong?
If you really love birds and agonize whenever you see a sick or mistreated bird, then you really have to wonder if you should deal with Senegal parrot breeders at all. This is on the off chance you find a really nasty Senegal parrot breeders. You may wind up buying a parrot anyway ? just to get it away from that Senegal parrot breeder! This is the worst thing you can do. The money just supports the horrible practices of the horrible Senegal parrot breeder.
But if you know you can walk in and out without laying the money down, then you certainly should research local Senegal parrot breeders and make appointments to see them and their stock for sale and meet the parent birds. If you do come across a bad Senegal parrot breeder, calmly say "No, thanks", go home and then call the police.
Take Your Time
If you really want a young Senegal parrot, then there’s no need to rush. Rushing to get a bird will only have you wind up with a bird you can’t get along with. There are such things as bird shows, in which everyone from Grey parrot breeders to Senegal parrot breeders get together and exhibit their stock. This is a great way to meet and compare a lot of breeders at once.
Ask for references fro a Senegal parrot breeder. You should have them cheerfully and politely reply and give you the contact addresses, even if they only give you their vet’s contact information. This is a sign of a professional, as well as someone who stands behind their birds.
You also need to make sure that they offer a contract and look this contract over. Usually, they will be willing to take the bird back at any time during the life of the bird ? provided that they are still alive, of course (Senegals can lie to be 50 years old!)
