Chi Chi: Green Cheeck Conure Hen.......
Vincent/Vin/Vinnie/y: Green Cheeck Conure Male
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice/suggestions.
I'm wanting to get an Eclectus parrot, male or female, specifically one that needs a home. Iv'e been looking online at people who are moving and can't take their parrot with them.
I have two Conure parrots already, Iv'e had them for 5-7 years. They spend a lot of time out of their cage and are bonded to me.
So, questions: Is it a good idea to get an Eclectus parrot when I have two Conures? My mum is against the idea, but then says she'll 'think about it', or 'when we get our own place' (we rent a property). But then will say, 'the conures will change, they won't be as friendly to you if you get another parrot' and things like that. I understand that this might happen, but can't you slowly introduce the new parrot? I'm not going to have them together in the one cage or anything.
I really have my heart set on an Eclectus. And at times mum (who makes the decisions) seems okay with it, but then changes. Dad often says he's going to get a big parrot, kind of jokingly, when we talk about the two we have, since they're bonded to me. So I feel he's okay with it.
Right now, I have an old horse and two parrots as pets. We lost our cat a year ago, and I feel its the right time to get another pet, as we are animal people.
So, any other advice for this decision and persuasion?
Thanks.
