Salaam every one
My Name is Hassan Lateed Syed.I am from rawalpindi.i am currently running few businesses.i have recently developed a Hobbie of birds,i use to have birds in and off when i was little but not as a proper hobbie.As i have developed the hobbie i have learned quite lessons and learning few more ,some were harsh and made ime carefull some one very helpfull in learning more about birds.met many people many of them greedy,unfair,and liers met few nice people as well.i have had quite birds many of them died because i was not given the right animals and i didnt know how to see the bird health etc.some were not bought on right rate.etc but one thing i know that keeping birds isnt easy as it look and they are not as expensive as people have made them . Very Happy

i now have good breeding pair of alexandrian parrot,1 pair of chakoor,1 pair of daknee teeter, but now i am more interested in keep parrots .for which i am waiting for rozela golden ,and yellow ringneck parrot .

brother hasan,

welcome to the forum.

The story about u'r journey to the hobby is more or less the same for all of us. Infact, all we have learned from our innocence, mistake, lack of knowledge & the dishonest peoples involvement in this bussiness. unfortunately, very rare, u will find, educated & descent peoples who really transfer their experiences to u. Rather, most of them misguide u, right from bigening.

Anyhow, that the past, but i think u r now joined the right forum. U will find here very good peoples; helping each other in every aspect of the hobby apart from few. But even though, those peoples r pointed out by the other members about their unfair deals.

Hope u will enjoy & learn about the hobby.

thanks brother sohail for being the 1st one to welcome me and its nice to meet new people share their experience n all.so brother what sort of birds are you having .and i have one question as far as my little knowledge is concern. why do the shop keepers ask so high price of gray parrot though they dont even have dna of that bird. they buy untame gray bird max max in 11000 if in good condetion and they ask for 25000 to 30 000 per piece .whyy /second question what is the real price of 1 month or 20 days old chick of gray parrot

sorry hasan for late reply, I have a collection of 20 pcocateils, 10 lovebirds, 40-50p budgries (not show birds), 03alexandrines, 02 IRN. want to extend in IRN variety in addition to same varieties of fallow, crest budgries.

Brother, gray chick r expensive in market is a fact. i think that gray parrots breed very difficult & in the year it may breed once & at max,. twice (experts may correct). Secondly, gray breed at the age 03yrs or even more years.

The young birds in the market are wild caught (thats why they are around 18-22k a pair) and r generally aged between 1-2 years. they breed when they aclamitise the environmnet that takes many years to settle.

A breeding pair that have a breeding record in pakistan may cost many time more than the 22k bird (expert know more).

one more thing, becasue chick can be tammed & will be able to talk. tammed & talking gray cost more than 50k per bird (depend upon talking ability). I heard, in karachi, one tailor master do that bussines & sale the gray for more than 100k last season.

I think these may b reason that gray chick is more expensive.
