Hi Everyone,
I am new to the site and a massive parrot lover. I have kept budgies and cockatiels and want to take a step further. I have 2 young kids and have been researching like mad on a parrot that will be suitable for our family environment. My first love is the Grey, but it just will not work with my 1 and 4 year old and anything larger is just to much parrot for me. So, I have looked at Conures, Amazons, Senegals, Caiques, Ringnecks and Alexandrines. I am loving the idea of Alexendrines as they seem to be a little larger than the conures and from what I have read they are gentle and loving.
I want my kids to be as safe as possible and offer my parrot a wonderful family life who will be invloved in everything we do, including going on holiday's, visits to Grandparents ect. And of course, they will be lots of training. So can anyone give me advice on this breed of parrot? They just seem perfect for us so if you have any experiences to share, I would love to hear them.
Many thanks,
Fiona
