I've been wanting a pet bird for quite sometimes, and have spent a few years researching already. Upon reading on the generalizations of species, Pionus seems to be my ideal mate.
Here's the thing, though, if I'm gonna own a pet bird, I don't want to keep him at home in a cage all day. I would love to have him with me when I'm out at work. I have a small jewelry shop in a pet-friendly shopping mall, and I literally spend my entire day at work everyday. So, my plan is to I set up a corner with a perch or play stand with toys and food for him to hang out when he's at the shop with me, and I'll be in his sight all day long.
The questions are:
1. Will he be happy chilling on a perch all day and remain in his corner? Or will he be trying to go play and explore the whole shop?
2. Would it make a different if his wings are clipped?
3. Would it make a different i f his wings are clipped for a couple of years in his early life? And let them grow back later on when he are used to the routine, so he could fly if he wants to. Would he choose to stay in his corner still?
Thank you
