I am concerned with a few things, the price, is that a right price? i read Handraised BABIES are 100-180$ from a breeder,

I paid $180 for my quaker back in 1999. I don't know what the going price is now, but I would think that is about average. Just my opinion.....

My Kiwi was hand raised, I don't know if that helps. Not a lot of people come on the forum on the weekends, waiting for more replies......

HA! You wanna know whats funny.. over here in Australia one pt shop wanted, for a not handraised blue quaker.... $750 !!! What a joke. I still paid more than 200 bucks for my baby from a breeder.. but we are in australia.. so they're alot dearer than our native lorikeets and that.. hmmm

Our local pet shop has a green Quaker right now for $299. The sign says it's a hand-raised bird. I've seen them on Craigslist and one ad in the newspaper for around $250 generally, so that price sounds pretty typical. I didn't buy either of mine so that's all I have to go on!

You'll also have to think of the cage -- you're going to need a big one -- and vet bills and food and your upcoming addiction to buying bird toys. The purchase price is only the beginning but it's the best cash you'll ever spend!

i live in ohio and i bought Cricket 2.5 years ago... he was hand-raised and cost $249. i think i paid more for his cage than i did for him!

what part of ohio are you from?

In the Tampa Florida area four months ago I purchased a hand raised Pallad for $150. She said the greens would be between $50 and $100 depending on the age of the baby (rather still weaning or fully weaned)

I live in Ohio and just bought my QP Hedwig for 240 with tax. I bought him from a qualified bird shop that has been around for 29 years. I could have brought him home last week but I did not want to wean him myself. He should be fully weened this week. If you are in the south west part of Ohio I will pass along the place. I am new here in this forum and I don't know if it is prober to post it.

Wow, I never knew quakers were so expensive in other areas. I paid $55 for Lulu and that was actually more than the baby my friend got for $40. I keep wanting to get another one but know I need to wait until Lulu's bond is stronger with me.

I Have a nice sized cage, toys, food, i am worried about buying a 200 dollar quaker that is 1 year of age, not handraised, and god knows how long those 3 have been together..

Not to pricey really, i just dont want to waste 200 dollars because of a pet store, if the bird cost 250 and below i dont care..
