Re: How much do congos sell for if not weaned
Posted by Martha on 4/05/07

You can't judge everyone by the actions of one or a couple of people.
There are alot of people that do know how to handfeed and not just a
cockatiel. I have handfed birds for over 20 years and I buy unweaned
babies all the time. I live in an area where I cannot keep loud breeder
birds and therefore I buy unweaned whenever I can get them. I am a very
caring and loving person and give all my babies the time and love they
require. I am a stay at home mom and have the time to do that. So
don't go around talking bad about everyone that buys unweaned birds.
People that sell unweaned just need to screen and get references from
the people they are going to sell to.
