Pheonix- alexandrine parrot
1 September 2010
mikki- barraband x king parrot
21yrs old
Hi all I'm posting this thread here and in the Quaker forum as need as much advice as possiblev
ok so I have found an add for an alexandrine with cage
it's a 2yr old male ( maybe slightly older as his ring is very prominent )
originally hand raised
talks a little
owner had since baby
it states in the add that due to lack of 1-1 time he is no longer as willing to be held or touched
but it does appear he gets time out if his cage when owner is home
I'm interested in going to see him but am wondering what's the best way I can get a true idea of his ability to be handled etc
I'm imagining he will either be more aggressive or more responsive with me being a stranger
I would like to provide him with a loving home but I also don't wanna bite off more than i can chew so to speak
I was thinking of taking a clicker and treats to see how he responds to it as I have red alot that says this provides an easy starting bond with a rehomed bird
Also what questions do I need to ask the seller about him ???
