- A green parakeet
So for a while now I have been wanting to purchase another bird, mainly for the one I have now so he wouldn't be too lonely while I am at school. But I am having a hard time making a decision on which species to purchase or look at. At least once a week my opinion on which bird I want will change, and I just can't make up my mind.
the reason I don't just go to a breeder or store that sells birds and see which one I bond with is that the place I would purchase from is a 2-hour trip and my parents have already taken me 3 times with no luck of finding one that has bonded with me, so they aren't really too excited to take me a fourth time.
the place that I would purchase from has all sorts of birds and they are all bought from a breeder still on formula and then continued to be raised by the store.
Anyway, Heres some of my wants, what I don't mind and some info about my situation.
Wants.
1. I would like a bird that is cuddly but can also chill with you.
2. Sweet and loving
3. Maybe a parrot that would not just kinda bond with me but with like my mom or dad. (maybe not fully bond but enjoy their presence)
4. Medium sized.
5. considered a beginner or intermediate bird.
Things I don't mind.
I don't mind the occasional scream or mess.
I would be fine buying a larger cage for the bird
I'm okay with a bird that is nippy from time to time.
I'm willing to spend however much money my bird needs to be happy. So I am open to prices.
Noise does matter just not too much.
Things I cant have.
I cant have a cockatiel due to my allergies and some or my family's. (even though cockatiels are like the perfect match!)
A bird that isn't too ear piercing.
My living situation.
I live in a home with my parents. Our neighbors are not to close to us and I am at school for seven hours but can devote the rest of my day to the bird. And I plan to care for the bird its whole life however long that may be.
