Petsworld in La Zenia, Torrevieja or San Miguel de Salinas used to sell them but not been in for a while. Worth asking.

Parrots are very expensive here, several thousand euros, quite righlly so. Are you an experienced bird keeper. parrots can live over seventy years so you need to make provision if you should die before they do. They are highly intelligent animals and must have toys to play with and because of their problem solving brains, need to be kept busy at all times. You need to ensure that any cage you buy is more than big enough and if possible, train to leave the cage to have access to fly in a restricted area. I believe all captive bred birds must be microchipped. Do not buy on-line. You could try wildlife rescue centres or shelters as these very occasionally have birds where owners have died or their circumstances have changed. Please please, think v carefully before taking on such a commitment. I have seen the state of bored parrots who have pulled out nearly every feather in their body due to stress and boredom
