You after a tame parrotlet?? I know of a good place in south Wales but not midland. Sure someone here will be able to help you. But yeah I wouldn't recomended tame birds from Stafford as you don't have the opitunity to have a little play before you buy. Good luck! |

Hi and welcome wave There is a good place in south wales but i cannot remember the name of it, i know a few other member will know what it is called. Stafford bird show does have parrotlets, but you are very unlikely to get a tame one they usually come in pairs. If you are willing to travel i know a few other places you can get baby parrotlets |

The breeder I got Cricket from has a very strict, standing rule. No bird leaves until they are completely weaned. I would think twice about it if I were you. So many things can go wrong especially if you are not experienced at it. Let us know how you make out! |

I agree with Gail, we hand fed 4 babies & it's a lot of work nodding Food has to be a certain temp, they need feeding every 4 hours, cleaning them, etc. |

In the uk you can only buy a baby bird once it has been weaned which for a baby parrotlet is around 8 weeks old. I am guessing this is what you mean by rearing a baby rather than a chick. :) |
