I want to preface with the fact I am not pointing fingers or trying to get anyone upset. I just want to know.
I have been watching locally for any parrots for sale. More to get an idea what is out there in case our adoption falls through. I have come across three pairs of Macaws that are "Breeding" pairs not for pets.
My background: I have exotic chickens. I started out wanting to breed them but discovered I can't cull chicks that aren't perfect and I can't cull adults that are past fertility. At that point they all have names and I know them personally. I also don't have the heart to separate and pen them. So I don't breed them, I just have a huge flock.
So back to parrots, what happens to these breeding pairs that are out there and the breeder doesn't want them anymore and they are only 20 but can't be handled?
