Small bird photo thread!

[foxgloveparrot]

I feel bad for the budgies that are impulse bought on q day to day basis from pet stores

Yeah, they're so overlooked and unappreciated. Why can't more people realize they deserve the same amount of love as a macaw or cockatoo?
I wish they became more expensive so people would impulse buy them less

I know it's so sad

I live in the UK and haven't seen small birds being sold in pet stores for several years, you can only buy them from breeders now. My parents bought one of my budgies from a garden centre many years ago lol

That's good, are the breeders much better tho?

Yeah there's so many fake breeders now on those pet breeder websites, I have heard from others they get you to pay a deposit and then when you pay the breeder a few days later they send you a message saying the bird has died which isn't true and then they say they will refund you but it never happens.

Sometimes it's easy to tell if something is a scam, sometimes it's harder...so you always have to watch out for little signs (little to no pics, too-good-to-be-true prices, etc). And read reviews if they exist on the site

She almost look lutino

she is pretty simaler to a lutino but she has more green (but I got her from a breeder and he said that she was an American dilute which I had been looking for after my first bird Skittles passed away)

The dead giveaway for american dilutes is bright light colours in combination of dark beak they are absolutely gorgeous
