Question
Hello Chrys
Our parakeets have just recently layed and eggs and now with the addition of the new baby birds we have seven parakeets. This is a problem when you live in a one bedroom apartment :). Do you know of any major pet stores that would buy them from us, and if a breeding license is required for parakeets in Missouri? I have looked online for these answers and have only come up with more questions. Hope you can help!
Hi, Crystal.
You'll need to talk to local pet stores to see if they will buy your birds from you. Otherwise, you can put an ad in a local newspaper. I live in Ohio and have no idea of pet stores in Missouri. You'd have to check with your state authorities (local humane society, local fish and wildlife service, state agricultural department) to see if licensing is required in Missouri for raising parrots.

Expertise
I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.
Experience
Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.
Education/Credentials
