Wow, petco and the ilk have raised their prices on pet birds... |
|
And have stopped selling the big-$ varieties like the Sun Conure.
$20 for a parakeet, used to be $15.
Zebra finch is $17, used to be $14. Buy two and you'd have a gigantic ROI as well...
"hand-fed" cockatiel that isn't maintained because "business" means it's okay to let the quality of the product drop and some fool will still buy it... Now $140 (used to be $100)
Cost for some supplies has gone up...
And the large cuttlebone perches, still the same price, are still sold as "large" but are clearly smaller in length and girth.
Seems human products aren't the only ones going up.

4. The cockatiels won't. The ones I saw were clearly de-learned... |

of human contact.
It's not just about money; animals are not objects.
