I have just rescued my first dollar bird ever, and I have to euthanase him. Yay.

If I remember correctly, the name originated because when they were caught, and first sold in England, that was the price they'd go for.

I've seen them here in the States, sold today... or at least in the last 5 years, for about $400 each. I can't recall if they're a bird that mimics sounds, or can actually be taught to speak like parrots, though.

Sorry you had to dispatch one, though. They are lovely birds. *winghugs*
