go to petfinder.com....this is a site for rescue groups....just enter your Zip code, and be AMAZED at how many great choices you have !!....i adopted a Great Pyrenees mix from them, and my dog Sylvester is awesome !!....check it out....try it...do a good deed....adopt a parrot !!....good luck to you, in your search for a parrot !! most pet stores, charge around $ 1, 000 for a good parrot, like an African Grey...if you check petfinders.com, the adoption fees are much lower !! dogs run $ 50 to $ 200, yet i don't know what parrots or exotic animals cost--check it out--i think you will be pleasantly surprised !!

Answer 2

It varies widely. Examples from my area in SW Pennsylvania.

Budgies $15-$20
Lovebirds around $80
Cockatiels $120
Conures $250-$600
Amazons $300-$1200
Afican Greys $1000-$1300
Macaws $600-$8,000
Cockatoos $800-$6,000

Different species are rarer or harder to raise than others and are at the upper end of the range. Breeders seliing birds are a little less expensive than pet stores. A typical popular large parrot like an African Grey or Yellow Naped Amazon is easily around $1000.

How Much Do Parrots Cost

Answer 4

The average cost of an African Grey is 800 (Congo), 500 (Timneh) -- anything less, you ought to worry about quality.

Amazons are around the same price

Conures are usually a couple of hundred dollars

Large parakeets range between the high 100s to within the 300 range

Small macaws (Hahns to Yellow Collar) start around 500, cheap -- usually 600 -- to 1000

Larger macaws (blue and gold to greenwing) have an average market value of 1400 - 2000, unless you live in a small town, and then you're looking at paying up to 2500

In my experience, breeders who trade among themselves sell to each other at the best prices for quality, as a matter of clearance. This is where you can get the prices I quoted:

Make sure you ask about the breeder's shipping policy if you won't pick it up, or plan on paying around $200 more.

Answer 5

This is a very hard question. It can range from around $100-$3,000. Just depends on what kind. I have a quaker that we bought for $300 (they can be as cheap as $100) Any small conure or quaker is usually $100-$400. A cockatoo can cost about $1500-$2,000. A macaw can cost up to $3,000. An electus can cost like $1400. A blu front can cost around $800-$1,000. An african grey can cost anywhere from $1,000-$2,000. And th elist goes on and on and on....I have raised birds for about 14 years now and these are just the prices of the parrots that you can buy in my state.

Answer 6

Not as easy as who much for gas, considering a parrot comes in many types and sizes. But a keet should be about $20.00 a cocktail should be $80-120.00, a conure can be $150-500.00, a Amazon will start at about $800. -3,000.00, about the same on cockatoo's, Macaw can be anywhere from $1200.-20,000. All depending on what the word PARROT means to you and the breed you choose.

Answer 7

It depends what kind of parrot. I think for a cockatiel it would be about
80-120$. Bigger parrots may vary from around 120-200$. At least that's as far as I remember.

You get gas that cheap??
