Marilyn, I didn't think of the stress of the trip. Maybe I will wait. There are some bird rescue places upstate. Maybe if I get a bird that was strong enough to survive whatever it had to be rescued from, it will stay alive in my house!

Hi Judy. I'm very sorry about your bird. What kind of bird was he or she? I have an umbrella cockatoo. I had always wanted one and for my 20th wedding anniversary my husband took me for a long drive where we pulled up to a house and I had not idea but he did. LOL. Out came Boo who proceeded to pull my sunglasses up and say hello. She's a little over 2 now. PLEASE DO NOT BUY a bird. I learned about buying and would never do it again. PLEASE got to a parrot/bird rescue. Just like puppy mills there are bird mills and this is why your little one was sick. Pet Stores get their birds from mills just as they do dogs. The bird mills are just as bad or worse then puppy mills. I hope you find a new healthy baby. Elaine
