I about fell over when I stepped into the bird room and saw these





and these


They also had 9 baby illigers (not rare, but cute!)



I couldn't believe they had blue-headed macs and vinaceous zone.

Came home with a new tree for Zoe

WHOA blue headed Macaw and Vinaceous zons :eek: OOoooh! That must be the one store you told me about that has rare species?

Omar's is like that too, BUT I don't think he'll go quite as rare as that. How much were the Macaws going for? Are they babies or breeding pair?

They were both breeding pairs. They wanted 12k for the macs. I didn't look at the zon price.

I am fighting the urge for a new bird HARD

My crystal ball shows a new bird in your future Christine........ LOL kidding.
I'm only kidding about the crystal ball part :). Hmm, I see another Macaw...

Lucky the only one close that has birds is Henpecked. I avoid him when I feel the urge :)
NO pet shops within 4 hours of me no local breeders .

She still acts afraid of it, but finally did perch on it for a bit.
