Buying and owning parrots/monkeys

This is where you can buy and sell anything you want in Cambodia! There is no 'Craigslist Cambodia,' so this is the next best thing. Most items for sale are in Phnom Penh, but this is a buy and sell section for the whole country. Many expats and tourists have new and used items to sell, so anyone can list them here. CEO has no part in these sales, so buyers and sellers need to get in contact with each other themselves. You're always welcome to list items you're giving away for free, as we encourage the community to give when they can. Amazon and eBay ship select items to Cambodia, but you save time and money when you do things locally.

Please don't buy one!
I hear and respect your concern, and genuinely don't believe I could keep an African Grey mentally stimulated enough for its own health - but are you seriously concerned that a $150 parrot from a neighboring country has been poached from the wilds of the Congo?

I was licensed to keep exotic parrots in Australia and had a pair of eclectus parrots from New Guinea like these

and a pair of sun conures from the Amazon Rainforest like these:

All were hand tame and members of the family rather than cage animals.

yeah, that does seem a bit unrealistic... just in acquisition and transporting costs. more likely they have a breeding pair (or a few) and are breeding them in captivity.

That would be my thought, and I have no issue purchasing endangered species that have been bred in captivity, are legal to own, and I can offer appropriate care

if anything it seems it would perpetuate the species by encouraging the breeding of them...

I was told that they are bred locally.

What's better than 2 chronic masterbaters in the house? Lol I jest...

I think I'd get tired of monkey shit and semen fast, but if a girl monkey just have to deal with the shit. But I don't have a kid because I don't want to change diapers also. For a monkey it's forever.

In 1979 my friend had a pet monkey in Bali.
They went everywhere together.

One day while walking on the beach, the monkey jumped off my friends shoulder onto the face of a german, and bit his nose almost off.

Says something about Germans then lol

But seriously that would suck. Guess that why most have their big teeth removed, to at least minimize damage.

And they originally came from Nana Plaza, right?

And the dealers in Bangkok refuse any more, they tell the suppliers: Oh no, we've got breeding pairs, no need, we're every well known for planning here in Thailand, especially wildlife smugglers...NOT.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
