That is a very personal choice-- there are pros and cons to both options. Either way, it is a good idea to research either the breeder (questions to ask: do they keep breeding records? Do they breed for good genetics? What do they feed? Do they socialize the chicks at all? etc...) or the pet store (questions to ask: where do they get their birds? What do they feed? etc).

That's really sad!

My cockatiel lived to be at least 25... we don't know how old she was because we were her third home, but I had her 20 years and the prior owners had her for 5.

I would like to suggest that we get our new birds from rescue organizations. Pet stores and breeders can breed faster than we can find good homes for birds who are homeless!
Please contact a rescue organization for you next bird of any kind! Thank you!
