So, like I usually do, I was browsing craigslist, even though most of the time nothing catches my eye (just a bunch of GCCs, tiels, and sun conures around me.) however this time, I saw someone looking to re-home their white capped pionus.
They said he's about a year old, is nippy around his cage but otherwise he's nice, likes head scratches, and squawks once or twice every so often but it's not a frequent or extensive sound.
Brad and I have been thinking of adding a smaller-sized parrot to our flock, albeit we were thinking closer to june-august, but hey.
Pionus seem like a fitting bird for us (not too loud, not very needy, but still interactive) but the thing is, he's selling the bird but no cage. So I'd have to find a cage separately. What's the minimum cage requirement for a WCP to be comfortable? Keep in mind I work from home, so odds are he wont' be caged for more than 3 hours of day time on certain days. (Doctors appointments, etc)
And what kind of toys do they like?
Nothing has been decided yet, but we've been thinking of a pionus or a caique, and it seems to be way easier to find info on caiques than a WCP for whatever reason.
Thanks ahead of time for any input.
P.S his name is Hawk-eye but I'd probably change that.. lol.
