Hi!
I am 63 years and my husband and I are both retired, kids grown, two grand kids. It has been about 20/25 years since I last had my birds and I really miss having a bird in our household. I am really struggling on what species I would like to choose this time. I, almost, bought a 12 week old IRN but (even tho I know what it is like to be bit) I was concerned about the "bluffing stage" and keeping the bird tame. Saw many opinions on the web and most were not positive. I hope I made the right decision. Now I am looking at Budgies and Cockatiels. Love both! They can be wonderful birds but in the meantime a few years ago I got two cats and wondered how they would do with the cats. I am home alot (farm, horses), and I plan on letting my bird be out of cage all the time, so would be hard to always lock up the cats. I have also looked at the Pionus Parrot.
Ugh! hard to make decisions. Would love to hear of anyone's opinion on this
Thanks much
