most of the pet shops here have unhealthy animals so avoid buying from them. They even mistreat the animals very badly. I once saw the guy in Creator's Oasis smoking away sitting at his desk with a Scarlet Macaw right next to him. The macaw looked so much in discomfort; smoke is terribly bad for parrots. The guy seemed least bothered or interested in its welfare. As a matter of fact, wen i pointed it out to him, he said "no, she likes smoking. She sit with me everytime i smoke. look..." and be blows smoke into the poor things face! I could've pounced on him right then!!!

U pay a good amount for a pet and then it dies within a few days of it coming home or else u end up goin back and forth with the vet trying to cure some damn ailment, and then worse is the heart ache u'll put ur kid thru if it dies.

Go to QAWS or any of the nice shelters around the country and pick up a nice a well taken care of animal.

hope ur kid enjoys her new friend!!!
