Birds are delicate creatures, often temperature-sensitive and requiring more care and attention than other pets. So it follows that if a bird is to be bred and sold as a retail commodity, the retailer must be attentive and not throw some popular birds in a corner cage next to the rabbits and salamanders. The staff at Our Feathered Friends is highly informed about food, health upkeep, training, and breeding; they even know which paints are too toxic to use on birdcages. Cockatiels run from $49.95 for a common gray to $89.95 for a white-faced gray, with both adults and hand-fed babies available. Lovebirds fly off the shelves on Valentine's Day, $39.95 for a peach-faced bird and up to $69.95 for more exotic colors.
