Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some advice. I am currently considering getting a Senegal or Pionus parrot. I narrowed it down to these two as they are on the quieter side for parrots. This will be my second bird ever. I had a cockatiel from when I was a kid until college and miss having a bird.
My wife and I work, so I am hoping to get a bird that will be able to handle some independent time each day. I am hoping for a bird that will like to cuddle and play, but can also just hang out on my shoulder or nearby perch while I do things around the house. My cockatiel used to hang out on my shoulder for hours and cuddle into my neck while I was on my computer or watching TV which I loved. I will of course be providing plenty of toys and plan to get an appropriate sized cage.
So would you go Senegal or Pionus? Or would you propose an alternative?
Thanks in advance!!
Chris
