I would move to a warm state and build a big netted outdoor area for my parrot. What about you?

I would buy a big house for all of my parrots, so the house would be basically the bird room, and a huge netted aviary for them as well. And of cause lots of toys and treats! :D

Me too... Now I have a grandiose idea about starting a huge rescue and breeding center for capes, and single handidly bringing back the cape parrot from the brink of extinction.... There would be whole flocks of them...

I might move somewhere a little warmer. At least with no snow. I would build a house that would have a main room in the center of the house with high ceilings, natural wood perches and ropes and toys everywhere. Not to mention a lifetime supply of nutriberries;)

I'd buy a farm with a stable and indoor arena, so I could ride and let the bird fly in there

Mana the manic female galah; yet to be named male corella
Huge house with internal aviary on acreage big enough I never have to see or hear my neighbours again... let alone find their devil spawn playing in my fully fenced and LOCKED backyard.

I have the designed to hand over to an architect the second I win :p If only I would actually win! lol The aviary would be the centre of the house and viewable from all living areas.

#1 Move out of Jersey and into a WARM state. :)

#2 Build a house, with plenty of wild, open space all around me- NO neighbors in sight.

#3 Make sure house has MORE than enough room for my current birds, plus 1 more.

#4 Netted and protected outdoors for fids to fly to their hearts content.

.....aaaaah.....to dream a dream.

I would buy a big house up in the hills so I could be in the red wood forest, get Rosie a awesome cage and an outdoor aviary with a heater. Then I would probably get a just weened galah, red tailed black cockatoo, and a macaw. After that I would work on getting my falconers license and have a couple of mews built, once I'm a general falconer I would want a imprinted barn owl, a red tailed hawk(be my apprenticeship bird), and a aplomado and or peregrine falcon.

Then I would want to do education shows at local events to teach people the importance of birds and why we must protect them, hopefully going nationwide at some point.

I would buy a huge house that had enough space for me to have a bird room, and then I would buy lots of nets, perches, and toys to hang in there. I would also get a big aviary for the budgies, and my dream cockatoo.:p

Umbrella Cockatoo- 15? years old..I think?
buy a massive aviary, pay off loans, buy a more reliable car lol...and one of those $2000 tree stands...plus, rig something on the ceilings...like a safe track that she couldn't climb up, but something that would allow her to follow me room to room lol...get a house with a solarium (on some acreage) ..Work as a teacher's aid instead of a teacher lol

Some years ago I asked my wife what she would do if I won the Lottery (uk lotto), she said she would take half and leave me, it just so happened that I had just won £10 that week, so I gave her £5 and sent her on her way ;)

I have actually given this some thought.
I like the idea of starting a bird rescue but that was not my first thought.

I would buy or open a pet shop that had all kinds of parrots and parrot supplies.
I would never sell the parrots at the shop, just sell supplies. Spend my days in the shop playing with the birds.
