The elusive Pionus Parrot - Does anybody know of a good breeder?

I've been searching for months for a pionus bird breeder, but have had little luck. I'm located in Ohio and was initially hoping to find someone in the OH/KY/IN area, but at this point I'd be willing to expand my search.

Do you happen to know of a reputable breeder who deals with any of the pionus birds?

Update:

Thank you so much for the info. I really like all of the pionus species, but my favorite are the bronze wing and blue headed.

    Hi, i found a website that has bird breeders and their info from all over the US. I searched for breeders in Ohio and looked to see which ones breed Pionus parrots. These are the ones that listed that they breed them or their website if they have one:

    http://birdiebo.startlogic.com/index.html

    http://www.inapickleaviary.com/index.html

    http://www.birdbreeders.com/breederdetails.aspx?B=...

    This is the search page with ALL of the Ohio breeders because only the first page has breeders on it that list what they breed. If you want to you can look through the rest of the pages and call them to see if they breed them too:

    I know a great breeder in Ohio. They have Maximillians Pionus' and White Capped Pionus if those happen to be either of the 2 Pionus species you're looking for.

    They're called "In a Pickle Aviary", very friendly people, raise wonderful birds, I've worked with them before and would gladly work with them again. I traveled from NY state to get one of their birds.

    Here's their site http://www.inapickleaviary.com/

    There is a breeder in Southern California I got my Pionus from. She is really nice, and as of last year bred the blue-head, dusky, maximillian, and white-capped. I got a beautiful Blue-Head from her. Her website is: www.pionusparrot.com She does not ship; but she may know of someone who does. Also, if you go to: www.birdbreeders.com you may find what you're looking for. If you could tell me what species you are looking for, I can probably help you out better.
