My family has been looking to find a perfect bird to add to our flock for a while now, and we have been considering a Blue Headed Pionus. We don't have a ton of bird experience, but we do have 2 young fischers lovebirds we recently "aqquired". We have had Budgies in the past and a Quaker that we rescued some years ago (who sadly passed a year after we rescued him). In anticipation of our bigger bird we have a nice sized cage filled with toys, and even have a bag of Zupreem waiting "just in case".
And an instant connection to my "crazy bird lady" friend in another time zone for those stupid questions, moral support or heaven forbid, an emergency.
We live in a motorhome full time and travel with our 3 kids. We work part time at the RV resort we live at for a few months, then move on to the next one. Our kids (13yrs, 8yrs, 5yrs) are homeschooled so someone is ALWAYS home. We have an outside area under our awning that is our living area with the bigger cage and a play pen for the bird. We have a smaller bedtime cage inside the RV (as you can imagine, we are limited on space)
Are these living arrangements something that would be suitable for this species of bird? We are hoping for a "quieter" bird and something a little less intimidating to make sure my kids and husband are involved (my quaker didn't like men at ALL).
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
