It's been a few years since I have been to La Vega, but driving out the autopista from Santiago to La Vega there were usually guys along the roadway selling birds.

Those are Hispaniolan parrots and it is illegal to sell or own one as they are a protected species.

I have never seen a pet store in Nacional.

At the Bravo Supermercado there was a pet store in the outside plaza area (Second Level), not sure if it is still there.

Had an African Grey Parrot many years ago. Paid $400 dollars for it back in California and the damn thing never talked. One day it started tearing out it's feathers one by one. Finally had to give it away as it was bald and needed psychological help. Biggest pain in the ass dirty animal I ever had. I would never consider one again here or anywhere... Good luck

African gray parrots are hated in Africa they eat the crops and farmers shoot them as pests. They make pets and easily tamed the person who feels that they are endangered spices should wake up and realize the people treat them worse than we treat pigeons. These birds if endangered species which I have never seen or heard are endangered not by us but the people in Africa. If anything this person should be conscious maybe this is the only way these birds exist in safety. Further more all the bird breeders around the world sell and offer this bird so I seriously doubt if that statement is true. they would loose their right to have a business and be closed for selling these birds if that was true. (all around the world)
