Need information about buying a lovebird?

Question by Claire V: Need information about buying a lovebird?
I live in St. Louis and am very interested in getting a lovebird. I have two birds already so I'm pretty familiar with bird care and the responsibilities that come with them. However of my birds were bought from friends so I have really no experience with dealing with breeders and buying them. I live in St. Louis, but am moving to Kansas City over the summer so I could get a bird at either place.

Does anyone have any tips about finding a breeder or a store that sells healthy, friendly lovebirds? Is it bad to look on Craigslist for one (although I've had poor luck with this so far)? Anyone in the St. Louis or Kansas City area have any recommendations on breeders or stores that sell lovebirds?

In addition, I'm a little reluctant to ship a bird, I'm worried it will traumatize it. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Basically any help or tips you could get me would be helpful. I'd love to get the bird over the summer, but I'd rather wait for a healthy, happy bird than get the bird immediately. Thank you to everyone!
