Parrots For Sale

 

Searching for Parrots for sale in Australia?
Parrots are some of the most intelligent, social, and engaging pets you can own — but they require proper care, enrichment, and commitment. Australia is home to some of the world’s most iconic parrot species, from Cockatoos and Galahs to Rainbow Lorikeets, Budgies, and Corellas, but they’re not all suitable as pets. You’ll also find popular companion birds such as Conures, Ringnecks, Quakers (legal in some states), and African Greys.

Before you buy a parrot, it’s important to understand their lifespan (many live 20–60 years), noise levels, dietary needs, and personality traits. Choosing the right species — and a responsible seller — makes all the difference.

PetsAustralia.com.au helps Australian families connect with genuine bird owners and ethical hobby breeders.
