Good day everyone!
I finally joined this forum after stalking it for a while lol! You seem like a very nice community. My name is Madison and I'm 20 years old. I'm in the Air Force and my job requires that I deploy at least 3 months out of the year, and I'm married to a nice man who enjoys and helps me care for our 5 year old sweet lab/pit mix named Gus, and our two rats Milo and Otis.
We both work full time but when I'm not deployed I'm home on weekends and after about 4:30 pm.
I'm an Arabic linguist - and for that I've always been very fascinated with the communication abilities of large parrots such as Greys. I've owned many cockatiels and budgies through course of my life but I've always felt as if it were all preparation for getting a larger bird someday! I want a bird that will be happy spending time with me when I'm home.
I want to buy him a large cage and keep it open in our office room for him to come out and fly a bit while we are at work. I also plan on training him to poo in his cage or in a kiddy toilet which will also be in his room, to make cage cleaning easy.
What I want is to save up and continue researching for at least another year before I get one. As of right now I want to go to a good breeder (I live in Arizona) and pick a baby who picks me, visit him regularly, and buy him when he is fully weaned. Then I want to take a week off of work to get him settled in and comfortable.
But anyways the point of this post is to ask, after getting a brief picture of myself and what I would do with a Grey, what you think about my life situation and adopting one. I don't plan on having children for a while, and I plan on being in the Air Force for another 17 years.
Thanks for reading and tell me what you think!! <3
