- Ethyl the cockatiel, Henry & Clarke the IRN's, and Skittles the lovebird (my daughters)
I live in a smallish house. We are in the country, our section is large and the closest neighbour has a cockatoo so I don't have anything to worry about in the noise department. That being said, with the size of our lounge, and the only place for the parrots being the lounge, two birds is plenty enough. We have a 'tiel and a ringneck, and whilst they have a decent play area with large enough cages, they don't over power the room the way it would if I was set up for two too's, or two greys for example.
I believe this. 99% of the time.
Thing is, the neighbours cockatoo is at my place now. I'm bird sitting. He's a Sulfur Crested.
His cage fits into the room well enough.
This morning, I woke up to this conversation:
Henry, IRN: "Peek a boo!"
Creighton, Cockatoo: "Hello darling."
Henry: "Whatya doing?"
Creighton: "Bein' good boy."
Cue heart melt, with sudden desire for another parrot.
Must remember not all birds talk.
Must remember we buy birds not expecting a talker.
Must remember I promised the husband I'd stick to two. Only two.
Must remember I can have a 'too fix whenever I want it.
But argh, so much fun, so much cuteness, so much love....
