I've seen the living arrangements for these animals,if you aren't up for keeping them then don't. I've seen macaws stuck into small cages,I've seen puppies without water. I've seen snakes without suitable enclosures and water,reptiles and the list goes on. Let me tell you a short story of where I got my Blue and Gold macaw,its a Bolivian one. I contacted a breeder arranged a meeting to get one, in arrival I'm met by a man not on two feet but a Wheelchair !!! This was amazing already,since I thought wow it must be hard work tending to these beautiful animals. I had a bigger shock waiting, in his back area he had about 100+ pairs of African Grey's all well looked after. Besides that,he had the blue and golds red wings green wings and Amazon's. He had a special area to care for the young ones,he hand raises all of them. A nursery that would put some hospitals to shame,incubators etc. Now if a man in a wheelchair can do it,whats their excuse ?</p></blockquote><p></p>
