14 Parrot Rescue In Buffalo NY

The way pandemic is unfolding, is still causing unprecedented financial as well as emotional distress across the entire world.

Which means rearing exotic parrots may not only be overly demanding but also ludicrously expensive.

So instead of buying a parrot from a pet store or privately it would be a good idea and something that is very thoughtful of is to go to a parrot rescue center and adopt a parrot

This will bring a new life to these birds that may have been abandoned

It will also cost you less money to adopt rather than to buy

I actually have written an article about the cost of owning a parrot

You can check it out by clicking the link below

Why are parrots so expensive?
