Hello everyone!
I am a new member from NC. I strongly believe in doing your research before bring home a new family member. I work from home and my 14 year old son is home schooled, so someone usually home. We have one senior rescue mix breed dog, 4 year old Boston Terrier, and a 3 year old Leopard Gecko and my son very much would like to add a parrot or macaw. I had a parakeet as a child but that is it as far as in raising birds. We have supported and cared for our senior dog through Evan's disease which is a rare highly fatal auto immune disease who has been in remission now over a year and even taken our gecko to the vet for her initial visit. I believe a pet is a family member and give them the best care to our ability. Before bringing a bird into our home I am looking to do the research to find the best fit for all involved. My son lots the African Gray because of its great ability to talk and interact. I have always wanted a bigger macaw for its beautiful color and emotional connection such as the harlequin. Again, remember this is just our first thought and preference and sure we will learn more and change our minds as we do. I am joining your forum to learn and grow through this process so please be patient and I will promise to use search for answers before posting questions.
THANKS in advance
