Hi,
So I am sure like many people I have wanted a parrot since I was a child... always a scarlet macaw however recently I have been doing a lot of reading and looking at youtube videos and now think a conure could be the way to go for my first bird...
Basically I am looking for good and bad experiences and any tips that could help as I don't want to rush into getting a bird...
I have built an aviary recently using aviary netting which I would let the bird into, supervised, and have located a cage - 65cm x 151cm - is this big enough?
Obviously I would be spending as much time as I could with it and keeping it out of the cage as much as possible but obviously another day another dollar and all that jazz so it would be in the cage too when I'm working...
Also what is your favourite species of conure? I saw a youtube video with 2 sun conures waking someone up and climbing under their duvet for a cuddle and thought that was rather cute...
Would it be good to start with 1 and see how I go before getting a second one?
Umm... I think thats all my questions - Thanks in advance
