Most of these birds of type are not antiques (unless you want to hang on until they are)….Some are older than others or another way of saying it is that some are newer than others. Your basic criteria for selecting one would be what you like about the color, details and condition.  We think our fellow falls into the upper class of types (look at the eyes and feet). Price to value is currently impossible to gauge as you can buy new versions at low $40.00 + tax and/or shipping up to high at $500.00 + tax and/or shipping (we almost passed out on that one) and everywhere in between. We priced our parrots on their obvious charm and nice attention to detail............ Do pick the Parrot that suits your fancy and common sense the best. - Sadie Material: High glazed pottery.
