Complete Psittacine by Eb Cravens

Big Island Hawaii has lost another long-time local pet shop that catered for parrots and other birds. It seems that so many pet owners are now buying their supplies at the big box and chain stores, and that neighbourhood bird shops can hardly make enough to pay rising building rental costs.

In the past six to eight years, I have noticed the slowly fading business and even total closure of several exotic bird shoppes or pet shoppes which previously sold and stocked very well for pet psittacines, canaries, finches, etc. Some others in our county have been sold off when owners lost interest or could not make a strong go of it in the retail trade. Having watched the pet bird market closely for over thirty years, I am truly bothered by this trend.
