Hi to everyone on the Alexandrine Forum
My friend is hoping to buy an Alexandrine.
Unlike other countries, there are very few shops in the UK where Parrots can be bought. Consequently, our options are very limited. There are birds sold by private sellers on websites such as āprelovedā or āPets4Homesā but we will not go down that route, as my friend and I have little/no experience in spotting things that are wrong or any potential problems.
And so to the reason for posting this question ...
My friend Ruth has seen a couple of Alexandrines being sold by a shop who takes the birds in when they are ready to be sold - he doesnāt breed or rear them himself. I am attaching a photo of parrots, together with screenshot photos of two comments that he made to her yesterday (in answer to her questions).
I am not sure whether the Rules allow for Members to comment on specific birds that are not yet owned but, if it is allowed, would anyone be able to say if these birds look like they are just 14 weeks old, whether they look in good condition and also if they are likely to grow much more (if they are as he states just 14 weeks old)?
Any advice and comments would be really be appreciated as this is the only seller in a our region who is Local Council Registered.
Thank you.
Cheerio
