Expensive Birds in the World
Gouldian Finch
The Gouldian, or Rainbow, Finch is a colorful, petite creature. To authenticate the Finch, coloration is key. They have unique blue or silver colors. The bird is usually kept by breeders. These birds need plenty of birdseed and a spacious aviary as they can be wild.
Scarlet Tanager
The Scarlet Tanager is medium-sized and belongs to the cardinal species. It comes in striking red with dark black wings and a blue tail. The bird has a large head, a rounded, thick bill for eating, and a broad, short tail. They like lurking in the deciduous trees of a forest canopy, as well as in shrubby backyards.
Northern Cardinal
Native Americans believe the Northern Cardinal once ran messages to long-deceased ancestors. Surely, no celestial gate was insurmountable for such a brilliant, red avian. Those are the males. Females are typically pale brown with reddish highlights in their wings. The cardinal has a prominent crest, a long tail, a short, thick bill and is always ready to share a song. The properly bred Northern Cardinal price runs about 800.
White Peacock
With its celestial plumage, the enigmatic white peacock is extremely popular at Australian weddings. When its tail’s fanned out, the site takes the breath away. These are not indoor birds and they need open space for the best comfort. So, you’ll also need solid roosting and fencing as there are plenty of predators.
Pink Flamingoes
Owning a flamingo isn’t illegal but in most cases ownership requires a license. And paying upwards of $1,500 for a single bird is only the beginning. These exotic animals require a tidy diet of mollusks, shrimp, and red algae. That’s a must if you want your pet to maintain the hue that makes it so sought after.
Ayam Cemani Chicken
No one’s more surprised than us that a chicken ended up on this list. The chicken is a plentiful bird visible in every corner of the world. Yet, here’s the Ayam Cemani chicken. They will earn their keep (sort of) as, like all hens, they lay eggs
Toucan
Thanks to Fruit Loops, no one takes the Toucan seriously. But in the avian world, the national bird of Belize is as exotic as it gets. Between its odd proportions and giant, brightly-covered bill, people with the cash love the idea of owning a well-breed bird like this. And they’re willing to spend as much as $9,500 for the privilege.
Hyacinth Macaw
Hailing from South America, the Hyacinth Macaw’s props include being the world’s largest flying parrot and having a striking blue macaw. They grow over three feet from tail to head.
Black Palm Cockatoo
The Black Palm Cockatoo is a tall bird with smoky colorful feathers and bright red spots on its head. Found mainly in the rainforests of New Guinea and Australia, these exotic birds are both stubborn and not necessarily friendly.
