I am against buying from pet stores. I would consider getting a a bird from Omar's Exotic Birds though. Yes, I am in Orange County. I believe Cass asked that. There is actually a small Omar's about 5 minutes from my house.

Omar's Exotic Birds (By Cypress college) is where we bought our tiels and parrotlets. They are the BEST bird store around! Their birds are so well taken care of, they gets loads and loads of attention (not like at Magnolia Bird Farm. God I hate that place!!!) and the people who work there are fantastic. All their birds are hand fed, from breeders. They are the BEST bird shop in Orange County by far, and not only that they take excellent care of their birds. When one of our parrotlets looked sick they paid for the whole vet visit, AND gave us a free brand new cage! Awesome people to work with, plus almost all the birds there are bred by the employees, so you get to talk to the breeders first hand.

I'm from Orange County. We used to live on Knott and Orange, on the border of Anaheim/cypress/Buena Park and I attended Cypress College, which is why I know of the pet shop.
