Selling Parakeets

23 9:53:09

Question
Hello Chrys
Our parakeets have just recently layed and eggs and now with the addition of the new baby birds we have seven parakeets. This is a problem when you live in a one bedroom apartment :). Do you know of any major pet stores that would buy them from us, and if a breeding license is required for parakeets in Missouri? I have looked online for these answers and have only come up with more questions. Hope you can help!

Answer
Hi, Crystal.

You'll need to talk to local pet stores to see if they will buy your birds from you.  Otherwise, you can put an ad in a local newspaper.  I live in Ohio and have no idea of pet stores in Missouri.  You'd have to check with your state authorities (local humane society, local fish and wildlife service, state agricultural department) to see if licensing is required in Missouri for raising parrots.
