So? That doesn't mean they are a better pet then a parakeet, lovebird, rat, hamster or any other animal.

tiki was $900 and NO that is NOT rediculous. its a bird!
jewels was $1200

jordan was $500, but we got him 12 years ago when prices were a lot lower
WOW Jessica12345, you are one spoiled kid!!!


Somewhere in this thread we lost track of whats
REALLY important...and that's certainly not what the pet cost.

Smokey was $50
Reggie was free
Nebo was $300

Does that make any one of them a better dog then the other? No. BUT, in the same sense, if you pay more, you are most likely getting a dog that is healthier/less problems. Not always the case though.

I agree that you'd most likely get a more healthy/tame bird for a higher price, and that *should* be important.

If you were to sell teil I think you wouldent get much buisness. I would personally never but a teil or any pet for 200$ that is rediculas(sp?) .. I got my dog for $150.00 and she is pure bred.
I'm sure she would get business. Just not from people like you.

P.S. I don't care if birds are more expensive/live longer, I'll take dogs any day!
