2. If your Australian Kings aren't available here, it's because they were wild caught and not suitable for the pet trade. See

3. For resources to help you find responsible homes try:

I am aware of all this and they are not my birds. the people who own the birds are totaly aware of the responcibilities but they need to sell them and they are not about to give thim away for a steal as they have an idea what they are worth. the austrailian kings are and interesting thing as they had to have been captive bread or they would never have been allowed into canada as it has been a lont time sence they have been allowed to be exported from austrailia. at any rate the boarder just opened for austrailian kings to the US from Canada. I will be finding more about the birds out today hopefully.
