The store I worked at got English Budgies from an exhibitor who gave them his less than perfect (colorwise) birds to sell as pets. WIth a bird like a budgie, you really don't have to spend the extra money on a hand-fed bird. They tame down very quickly, even if they're parent-fed birds. We used to take a few of the prettiest, trim their wings, work with them for two or three days until they learned "step up", and then sell them for twice as much money!
