Most unoriginal title ever, I know...!
Anyway, I am a 28 year old woman from sweden. The reason I turn to this forum is that I find myself in a place where I have quite the questions, but no answers, not really. I was hoping some kind souls here could shed a light on something I've missed!
See, I find myself in the unenviable position that I am allergic to bird dust. While also being a huge bird lover in general. I have tried with 'tiels and doves and none of those have worked out. Now I am looking at eclectus, and would like some opinons and input. ARE they as dust free as they're made out to be? Does anyone here know If they are in fact a valid option for allergic people first hand? Are there other parrots, something ore cuddly (I just love to cuddle with my little birds...!) perhaps, but still in medium size? I have the space, no problem, and strongly prefer a bigger bird.
Well, THAT was mostly a ton of questions, I realize... all my thoughts right now revolve around finding the best home for my doves possible while still trying to desperately see If my dream of a cuddly pet bird can still go on or not. I am aware that I may just have to let It go... so this is sort of a last attempt to reach out and see what people can share in the ways of wisdom!
