Hello fellow Lorikeet lovers!
Does anyone know of any (reputable) Lorikeet breeders in California?There is a pet store kind of far from where I live but in the same...

Lisa Rowe The $600 cost was "each", so $1200 USD total. And yes, since the Lorie is not a native of the states, they do cost a lot (my understanding is that there is an importing ban, but not a breeding ban). From what I've read online, the average cost for purchasing Lories/Lorikeets in the USA is $450. I did shop around, and where I live "Sacramento" there was only one pet store (all birds) that carried them, and they only had two, ... which I bought the pair of them (male/female).
