Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum and I'm still new to this owning a first bird.
Well basically I have decided to get a bird as my new pet. I'm 15 I'm able to take care of the bird from feeding it to cleaning out it's cage. I've basically decided to go for a rainbow lorikeet as my first bird since I love they way they look and the traits it has.
So I have been snooping around gumtree.com.au trying to find a rainbow lorikeet and I happened to stumble across this.
Rainbow Lorikeets | Birds | Gumtree Australia Parramatta Area - Granville
So I rang them up and asked for all basic info of the birds. They said the birds were aviary bred for the purpose of having more birds and they've reluctantly decided to sell most of there birds.
So the birds are basically one year old and they're aviary bred. My questions are, will it be hard to train if I decide to purchase one from the seller since they are doing me a good deal on a cage and the bird.
But of course after purchasing the bird, I will immediately take it to the vet for a checkup and to get its wings clipped.
But basically, will it be possible for me to train one of these. I have the time and commitment everyday to spend time with it and I am able to be patient in the process of training it.
I've been reading all over the internet that it is possible to tame aviary bred birds but to your experience, would it be possible to tame a 1 year old rainbow lorikeet?
Cheers,
