Budgys coast $14.00 usually, but this week only they coast $8.00 because they are on sale.. if you dont believe me, then whatever..

I dont know what you are getting at. I cant run away from these prices, they are just dum. I think the budgys on sale is a good price. But cockaitels are way over priced and if I EVER seen a perrot for $1000.00 I would laugh because that is soo expensive.

My dog didnt even coast $150.00, and she is pure bred...

I think hedgehogs should coast $65.00-$80.00, I wish.
I'm not a millionaire or even rich. I'm a "normal" person who knows how much animals cost and knows the price that goes along with a pet.

Macaws cost from $2000 - $10,000 or more depending on the breed. If the macaws you saw were $300, they were most definitely stolen birds or extremely old with something wrong with them. Either that, or your home town only has stolen animals.

Macaws are exotics, expensive and VERY valuable birds. They have the mind of a 5-6 year old child. They don't cost pennies. They cost as much as they are worth. They are not for the average person who can only afford a $10 pet.

The only "normal" price you listed was the price of budgies. $15 is normal for parakeets. $300 for a macaw? HAHAHAHA! I can't even stop laughing.
