First off, let me introduce myself, i am semi-experienced at being owned by birds. I have a budgie, who thinks she is a hyacinth! She loves to dance, jump, and just goof off! However, when i am in a bad mood, she comforts me with a snuggle. Budgies are so underrated parrots, and really should be sought out just as much as macaws and large-cockatoos. I also have worked with many parrots at the zoo. (volunteer work) Anyway, I am looking for another "fid",
and have been doing research. I have been researching different types of parrots for around 3 years now, but nothing beats talking to those with raw experience! I have a lot of time on my hands, and I was thinking about adopting a cockatoo that needs a home. For a while i was set on getting a baby black-palm and even met her and played with her, however I would rather the bird goes into a well-established breeding program to help sustain the beautiful species. While poking around i came across a website called "mytoos" and it was dreadful, however i'm not getting the bird for it's cuddly nature, or because it "matches furniture", i am rescuing the bird to be it's companion and to build a special relationship, with a bird who has had many hardships in its life. I understand i cannot cuddle for hours with the parrot, because it makes them scream/mutilate, and when they do scream i know not to even look at her, because it means they got what they want. Attention. Do you think I am ready for a large jump from a budgie to a cockatoo (i have handled large parrots before) If not, what do you recommend? I cannot do conures, mini-macaws, lovebirds, parrotlets or any of the poicephalus parrots, because of personal preference and my family's preference. Thank you for reading my block of type, and helping me find another buddy.
