well i'm still confused as to what parrot i may go for in the future. i've heard that parrots need a lot more daily attention than cats and dogs do, so i have a question relating to this.
could someone please give me some examples of exactly what this entails on a daily basis?
i realize it would be a lot different looking after a small cockatiel compared to a larger parrot, so i guess i'm talking more about the bigger birds such as african greys and others like those.
anyone with a large bird, what is your daily routine with them?
do you have to make sure you are up as soon as your parrot wakes, for instance?
does he/she need to be in sight of you [while you are doing stuff around the house] throughout the day for him/her to be happy?
that type of thing.
i'd really like a bird that likes to be handled a lot, if that is possible?
however i'd like a bird that is not going to freak out when i'm down the shops for a couple of hours and he/she is left on their own.
it just seems like they tend to be prone to getting really bored very quickly by the sound of it. maybe i'm reading too much into that side of things?
thank you.
