• Have you visited and viewed the bird in its own home?
  • Have you seen all relevant medical notes and history?
  • Does the bird look healthy and lively, with sleek feathers?
  • Is the bird being kept in a safe and clean environment?
  • Do you have space and time for this bird?
  • Do you have access to a vet who specialises in birds?
  • Has the seller provided all required certificates and paperwork?
  • Is the seller licensed?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, please consider using a different breeder or seller and if you are concerned about the birds welfare, you can report the matter to Petwise or directly to the RSPCA.
