Prices

How much is a parrot in the Philippines?

By Sherwin, Mysher Aviary · breeding parrots since 2001 · updated September 2026

Quick answer

Parrot prices in the Philippines depend mostly on the species: lovebirds and cockatiels are the most affordable, conures and parakeets sit in the middle, and African greys, eclectus and cockatoos cost the most. Age, sex, colour and whether a bird is hand-raised also affect the price. Budget for a cage, food and a vet check too.

Which parrots cost more, and which cost less

₱

Most affordable

Small, easy-going birds and the usual way to start.

₱₱₱

Premium

Larger, longer-lived or rarer parrots that take more years and skill to raise.

What affects a parrot's price

Two birds of the same species can be priced differently. These are the main reasons:

  • Species: bigger, longer-lived and rarer parrots cost more
  • Hand-raised and tame: more work to raise, but far easier to live with
  • Age: chicks for handfeed, weaned young birds and proven breeding pairs are all priced differently
  • Sex: DNA-sexed birds, and pairs, cost more than unsexed birds
  • Colour mutations: rarer colours cost more
  • Paperwork: birds from a licensed, DENR-permitted breeder

The costs after you bring a bird home

The bird is only the start. Plan for these too:

  • A cage big enough for the species, plus perches and toys
  • Food: pellets or seed, and fresh fruit and vegetables
  • An avian vet check-up
  • Replacement toys: parrots chew through them
