Smile Adult Pair VS Bonded Pair VS Breeding Pair

Hi everyone,

Since i received quite a few questions on these 3 types of pairs i shall address to everyone here.

Okay anyway all these are just my pt of view and logic.

Bonded Pair:
Agent Smith "Although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love". haha so i am not sure if the parrots know what is love and can fall in love at first sight. Unless proven its hard to accept that animals fall in love with one another.

Breeding Pair:
This is pair which has successfully mated and laid eggs, incubated and the chicks hatched! it wld be a great buy if u can get this. haha but i guess it shld be more expensive. how many wanna sell their goose that lays golden eggs at cheap?

Adult Pairs:
This is just my theory, i drew my experience in army to come up with this theory. During my tough times in army, new environment, outfield and all the tough things i had to go through, my detachment mates were there and we had a great bond. And till this day we have been best of brothers. So i suppose it cld be for the animals too. imagine you have two adult birds. And you sort of put them through stress and give them a new environment. They will automatically depend on one another. Its like they only have each other to face the new changes and they will automatically bond. However their characters have to match. So that one is in your hands.

Conclusion:
If you can get a breeding pair thats fantastic! if not an adult pair shld be fine. Anyway some ppl charge more for bonded pair. No matter what pair you get, you got to let the birds set in to their new environment. You shld not force them to change. Jus cover their cage and they will auto tear up the cloth and be ready for their new change. Jus like the chicks hatching out of the eggs, the pair will come out and settle in well.
