Breeders vs rescues — an honest conversation

I see a lot of judgment when someone buys from a breeder vs adopts. I got my cockatiel from a reputable breeder and I also volunteer at a rescue. Both have their place. Can we have a non-judgmental discussion about the pros and cons of each?

Lol my Pionus does the exact same thing. I've just accepted that the bird runs the house now. I'm just the food delivery service.

I respectfully disagree. I think it depends heavily on the individual bird. My Pickle is the total opposite.

Following up on my earlier comment — I tried what you suggested and it actually worked! My Pionus is doing so much better. Thank you!
