Hello all,
After lots of thinking and research, I've decided that an amazon would not be a good fit for me... I believe that the noise level, attention requirements, and unpredictability don't mesh with my lifestyle.
I am a 2nd year Biochemistry undergrad that is planning on continuing my education with medical school after my graduation in 2020. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment and spend my time either in lecture or lab or at home with some social time with friends sprinkled in between. I definitely do not consider myself someone who parties or spends a ton of time out with friends, so I think I still have the time for a pet bird.
I am fully dedicated to doing all that I can to give this bird as much attention as I am capable of, but if something comes up that I have to leave the bird with a family member or alone for a day or two, I would want the least probability of the bird becoming emotionally stressed or turning on me. If you all have any other recommendations for a parrot, please do share.
From what I have read, Poicephalus genus bird species tend to be much more quiet and independent than any other genus of parrots. I first was looking into a Senegal, but I still wanted some talking ability and read that red bellies are better talkers than Senegals.
Now that I have decided on a species, I am looking into possible breeders. If any of you all have experience with a breeder, especially one within driving distance of Northern California, please share their information as I would be glad to drive over and allow the bird to pick me rather than the other way around.
Thanks again!
