Has anyone started a quot;Parrot Placequot; ? -

I was considering starting a parrot place business. It is a home based business. You join this organization for $5000.00. They give you start up material (training for your parrots, breeder lists, DVDs, and cd s) You sell any type of parrots from your home, that are hand fed. I was just wondering if anyone on here did this and if it is successful...how long it took to make your money back? It would be a lot of money if it was not successful. Thanks for any comments!!

It s funny I found this post. Me and my wife were looking into things like this now. I bought a Amazon parrot many years ago from a parrot place. After going from pet store to pet store trying to find a bird with no luck. I found a breeder and was put on a waiting list. I waited and waited -no luck Then I ran across a parrot place and in a very short time he had the bird I wanted. My wife is a dog person and was looking into a dog franchise. It s three times the money and you have to pay them a royalty fee. About two weeks ago I told her to call the Parrot Place for info. We both decide to go this route. Reasons are when I was looking for a bird at the pet store I was dealing with a 16 year old kid with no knowledge whatsoever. The two stores are now closed, the breeder is no longer around but the Parrot Place and its affiliates are still in business
