The biggest problem is education, people are not educated and just buy birds not knowing anything about them... I had a guy a couple days ago saw my car, the hood of my car is my Macaw,he stops and wow that's pretty what kind of bird is that, I tell him and he says where can I get one,So of course now I have to tell this man all about Birds, needless to say he decided he will stick to just owning his dog.
pet stores and breeders do not care about your experience or education, they care more about selling, and its sad
