then, no thanks, I prefer to eat chicken.Originally posted by About A GaL:anyone seen them in pet shops? Heard that they are quite expensive.


dun look delicious to me lehz, too skinny...are they good in stew or fried?Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:u cant find these in pet shops. They belong to the family of parrots called conures....they are extremely rare and highly endangered species.
No chance u will ever see them in petshops other than Bird park





She is not that beautifulOriginally posted by valentinoo:i think queen rania of jordan is fine
do u keep birds?Originally posted by About A GaL:hmm....rare species?
I think for that colour, it's much CHEAPER to paint yrself.Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:has anyone seen the queen of bavaria(Golden conure) in pet shops?
Long ago think maybe i did see one but cant recall much. Any bird experts here?
dumb statement. let's talk about something practicalOriginally posted by Mr Fugue:I think for that colour, it's much CHEAPER to paint yrself.![]()

why buy something expensive yet perishable?Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:dumb statement. let's talk about something practical
if anyone has seen them in petshops, i will like to know.
Maybe get one as my pet. this is a prized bird and will cost a bomb. When i go to Aus , maybe i will try searching there.
yeh why not, if u want it. Btw conures like the queen of bavaria have a long lifespan too around 15-20 years. There are many types of conures yes but the queen of bavaria has got an excellent orange plumage which is strking hence the expensive price. Same as with the birds of paradise or other singing birds.. I dont think u can ever get one on Sg unless someone has manage to bring it in. I had tried searching local pet shops in vain and none seems to have it...Originally posted by Mr Fugue:why buy something expensive yet perishable?![]()

after the bird flu, i dun tink the market is strong, but.....u can try.Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:Yeah up to u, But i inted to breed the queen of Bvaria conure and sell them to bird keepers. is that a good way to make money?
from the response here in this thread, i dun think the "queen" is popular.Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:There is a reason why it is called Queen becuase it is a prized bird.....
Because only hardcre parrot Bird Enthusiasts know about them , not readily available and they are not found in Singapore. But people in other countries have them as pets.Originally posted by Mr Fugue:from the response here in this thread, i dun think the "queen" is popular.![]()

boring, got rainbow-coloured parrots or not?Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:the closest u might be able to find are Sun conures in local pet shops. Think they are not the same as Queen of Bavaria conures....
