Sometimes you can look around online at birds for sale in places such as classifieds sites, your local newspaper and other online resources where people will be giving pet birds away. Sometimes this is a result of that person relocating or moving and they can’t take their pet with them and sometimes it could be that they purchased the bird and because of time restrictions they just aren’t able to give the bird the care it needs and deserves.
