Two words Peaches:
Bird Show.
You can get a bird through a breeder at a show at a much lower price than you will find one in the pet stores. Plus they usually give a better guarantee on the health of the bird and some other bennies.
In our case, we got Zini for $350. The price at any of the petstores for a sun conure is about $500.
We bought Zini from our vet, she and a partner hand feed and raise the chicks. She givea a 30 day guarantee on the health of the bird, a free starter pack of the same food and seed the baby was weaned on and free clippings and trimmings for a year. On top of that, Julie, the girl that actually does the feeding and raising gave us her home number and told us to call any time 24/7 if there was the least little problem.
