It is illegal to sell wild-caught birds for the pet trade. There is a huge black market for smuggling them into this country, and unfortunately, most of these wild caught birds die during transport.
The birds that are available for the pet trade have been born and raised with a lot of interaction with people. Birds are social animals, and are more than willing to let a person be a part of the flock. A well-cared for bird is usually happy. Birds do need time out of their cages, and a lot of interaction with their persons to flourish as a pet.
