The extremely high prices of parrots at Petco ensures that pets do not not sell and as such these parrots are subjected to a life of hell in the way of not being loved by a proper loving family. This has become a prison for parrots! Petco may tell you that they transfer birds to other locations so they don't become "stale" birds with the same people and atmosphere but this is not true, A cinnamon Quaker parrot at a Petco in New York was noticed by a customer around Christmas 2012 and as of July 2013 it is still there this bird has become cage aggressive and hand shy (not being able to step-up without fear) and the reason for this is the high price of this parrot, it is 899.00 the average price for a Quaker parrot is 200-300 dollars. We have to put a stop to these high prices of birds, so that these parrots can go home and become part of a loving family! PLEASE NOTE: this is not a petition to stop stores from selling animals.
