Читать книгу Birds For Dummies - Gina Spadafori - Страница 81

Some breeders sell directly to the public. To evaluate them, you need to use many of the same criteria you would apply to pet stores. Evidence of current, accurate information is probably the most important sign that you’re dealing with someone of merit. The odds are greater that their birds will be of merit, too.

Good breeders, like good pet stores, don’t want to place their babies, to whom they’ve devoted so much time and attention, into a home where they won’t be cherished. Don’t be offended if you’re asked lots of questions — it’s the sign of a caring seller. Expect to be asked about your living circumstances, how long you’re away from home every day, if you’ve ever had birds before, how many birds you have now, and so on.

A good seller will refuse to place a bird with a person who’s looking for a bird to match the color of the carpet. Folks with character and integrity want their babies to match your heart.
