Is a cockatiel and budgie the only small cheap parrot?
do a search for Birds for sale, and look through classified ad’s i found Baby green Quakers for sale for 75 dollars ( which is what i adopted my 12 yr old quaker for)which was very cheap they run 100 bucks and up I’ve seen mutation ones ( cinnamon , blues, and other mutations go for 600 bucks up to a cpl thousand dollars for a QUAKER! or go to your local humane society/pound and see if they have any that needs a good home I havent looked at all these links but most i’ve been on numerous times Just make sure what ever breed you decide on you do all the research on the bird, speically if you’ve never owned that specific kind before !
