So far I have read a lot on this site and picked up a lot of valuable information. Thank you all for being such good providers of information.
I have been visiting my local parrot shop every weekend for a few months now trying to determine if I am ready for this commitment and which type of parrot best suits me and my family.
We are currently a 3 person family with a super sweet English bulldog. I have been wanting to have a parrot in my man cave (where I spend all my time), and fell in love with a very playfull white bellied caique (unfortunately not for sale).
This is the only real parrot experience I have.
I had thought that I wanted a caique, but am also curious about getting a mini macaw, like a hans or noble macaw.
My wife and I both work during the day, so time with the bird would be limited to 1/2 hour before work and then in the late afternoon when my son gets home form high school or I get home from work. The after work time with the bird could be hours and I am usually doing something in the man cave every night until bed.
I am financially ok, so a large cage and tons of toys will not be a problem, and I'm willing to make new foraging toys nightly.
So, given my situation, I would love to get feedback from you experienced parrot owners on which bird you would recommend. Again, I am leaning towards a caique or hans/ noble macaw, but open to other suggestions.
