I love working with and around parrots. I've had a passion for parrots for awhile now and I'm always learning new stuff.
I would love to breed parrots but I know there is no profit in there(I just love the idea of raising sweet baby birds for good homes). I own two small parrots but I know enough to own and handle even the biggest macaw.
I have handfeeding experience and always want to provide the absolute best I can for my birdies c: ..I love feeding baby macaws! They're just super sweet! lol
I have been struggling with career ideas, and I have to decided what to do soon because next fall I will be going to college. I was thinking veterinary medicine but after working in a petstore filled with sick puppies, giving shots, dealing with some deaths.. I'd rather not go into veterinary medicine. I have only worked at the pet store for about 5-6 months but already I am so tired of it :c I'd rather not have to deal with the pressure of animal's lives or anything like that. But I am open to studying/breeding/caretaking of parrots. I know I could probably make breeding work if I was lucky enough to get a producing Hyacinth pair lol but that would be a miracle.
Does anyone know any good parrot-related careers out there that I can make a good enough income from doing? I would like to be a hobby breeder on the side, but need to afford that lol I'm not into animal training, though, either. Or if anyone knows how to make breeding work as a career? I don't want to make it a job.. if I can profit enough from it but keep it fun and focused more on raising babies that would be great, but I don't want to do anything like cut costs and reduce health of the birds just to make profit :c it's sad that some people do that. I know it costs a lot just to get some breeding set up, from the birds to the cage, etc.. and even then there's no guarantee there will be babies. So I'm not too focused on making breeding work but I am opened to suggestions.
Thanks for reading! c:
