In my area there is a store that sells english budgies for $50.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Quakers, because they are illegal here. I have heard them compared to grey-cheeked parakeets, and if they are anything like those little gems they are wonderful! I got to know a pair of grey cheeks after their owner died, and they were the quietest, sweetest little things. They loved each other and people very much.
