talberry2 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I grew up with parakeets and absolutely adore this bird. I know they have them at the Chatuchak Market, but I simply do not trust this place, as many of these vendors do not handle their birds well and many vendors have sick and unhealthy birds. Are there any credible shops in Bangkok that you can buy a healthy young parakeet from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talberry2 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 This is truly 100% unhelpful. Do you not think I haven't done this? I have googled this and looked this up for a few hours. That's why I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 You don't trust these farms/breeders, have visited them? You only referenced Chatuchak.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel123 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 OP I'm having the same problem....... I've bred canaries (various types) for many years in the UK and I've found it impossible to find any really healthy birds so far. I can't even find a pet shop who breeders would sell their surplus stock. I know you're not looking for canaries but if you happen to come across anyone or anywhere on your travels please let me know and I'll do the same re Parakeets. Thanks H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMWPACIFIC Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Are quality parakeets like quality tourists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not here to win contests with a parakeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKJACK2 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Only places i've seen them are Chatuchak but like you say i wouldn't buy from there and Fish Village, Ban Pong, Ratchaburi District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planemad Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 What sort of parakeet are you looking for, cockatiel, budgie or maybe something a little more exotic like a sun conure? Either way, you might like to try looking at birdslover.com, you will have to translate the page, but that is not a problem if you use chrome. These are private breeders who sell at quite reasonable prices, some will send birds to you, at your expense of course. Alternativley, I do know a breeder who has a shop at Chatuchak who I do trust and deal with quite regularly, if you want more information, please feel free to PM me and I will provide his shop address and phone number, he does speak some English. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
