A bonsai tree honestly seems like your best chance.
You could even start a new hobby with the bonsai. If you want to just purchase one right off, keep in mind the cheaper ones won't be the prettiest. It seems with bonsai, you really do get what you pay for. Here's a great and cheap one on ebay that looks like it might be great for the birdies
So ya, take a look online. Also look around local stores like nurseries and home improvement stores. I know most asian gift shops tend to have bonsai trees too, so you can even see exactly what you'd be getting in person.

Same with this one
A little trimming, if you're brave enough, and this may be excellent
And another the parrots could hide in without harming the tree or being uncomfortable to your babies
OK bullets here we go!

Dec 7th 2014 you know the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Aka my B-day
It didn't drop all of its leaves, the ones that are super dark green in the first album were the survivors and most made it through.
Here's the source Amazon vendor.
I agree once I got it I as a gift I should have checked with the vendor about prior living conditions.
I'll email about the situation before shipping.
My Questions about keeping it indoors were related to several posts about the possibility of keeping them indoors year round. I was just worried that they could freeze solid in the pots that they are in. we have lousy light conditions in the canyon that we live in during the winter ~3 hrs direct light on a clear day. Okay no cutting till spring. I think thats best to help develop the trunk anyways, right?
"Before was 5 days ago :)
*I was worried about how much "life" the tree had when it showed up vs how fast it lost it's leaves. So I got the bulbs (11 dollars for both) I attributed it to it getting frozen during shipping, but now I think it might have been due to it's prior storage vs being in my house.
