Dunno about the ball park. A local pet shop with an excellent reputation
regarding parrots prices Hyacinths at $10,000. All other parrots that they
sell are within the normally accepted retail price ranges. I'm assuming
the price on the Hyacinths is also within accepted retail price range.
They don't normally keep hyacinths in the store due to the space needed
for the cage though...
