The Lorikeets were so friendly! As soon as one stepped up the other three wanted to as well. Every time I walked by they wanted to step up.

Beautiful. Obviously they know how to pull heart strings. That can lead up to purse strings!

Yeah, pet shop. They had them in big open glass containers.

Lol! Well I already have three dogs (did have 4) plus the two birdies, haha. If Yuri didn’t have a bunch of medical expenses I’d consider it.

Those parrots in the photos are so adorable. I’d have a hard time walking away. I should probably stick to ordering online.
I’m just realizing my parrots would need a misbehaved parrot room in a pet store. They’d dive bomb customers, snip at customers, steal from customers, and be little monsters.

I’d have talked myself into another African Grey in a short time period. If it had been a Timneh there is no doubt it would have come home with me. I do plan on getting another bird if I can locate a Timneh which seems difficult.

Obviously I am partial to Greys. I avoid being in a position to get another bird. That one's expression says a lot.

We have a Petland that has a similar setup. People can go and handle the birds. THEY ARE SO CUTE! I can totally understand why you had so much trouble not bringing them home, LOL!

Pet Land. Just a random pet store I walked in while out running an errand.
Generally, I don’t like supporting the commercial sale of birds at pet stores and especially pet stores that sell puppies. But, I do love taking a peek now and then.
