Hi everyone.
I am still in the researching stage, and would love any advice I can get!
I have grown up with birds all my life, and haven't had one for a while now, and cant resist any longer! I am a stay at home mum of 5, my husband works nights so we are both at home with our pre schooler everyday and night. I had always wanted a cockatoo, but after researching I found (correct me if i'm wrong) that they are VERY clingy to one particular person, and not so great with others, and are among one of the loudest and can screech for hours, and are also poor talkers. I know everything depends on how much effort you put into it, and every bird is different. So then I looked into amazons. Who I read, are still loud, but not as loud, and you can diret the screeching into singing, talking ect. Are obviously smaller, and are great talkers! But i'm stuck between yellow naped, blue fronted and yellow crown. Cooud anyone tell me the differences please, as in some places I have read that yellow naped are far better talkers, but then I spoke to a breeder who said that that is not the case. I have searched and searched, and cant seem to find any yellow naped breeders anywhere in the uk. I found one in the isle of wight, and one in Devon. And they are just too far to travel back with a baby bird I cant seem to find any really useful directory for england at all! which is now making me think I would have to go for a blue front as I have a number of breeders for those. But because of the talking ability i was more swayed to the yellow naped! Please help!
