Hi I am new here. I have always had interest in birds and stopped the hobby about 7 years ago when my canary died. I took a trip to the pet store the other day and seeing all of the birds made me want another one. I have been doing lots of research and I don't plan to get the bird until at least another 4-5 months. I was going to go with something like an african grey but I realized that they are not the right bird for me. First of all I don't have the money to go spend 1200+ on a bird. I have decided to start with something such as a smaller parrot like a conure.I have been researching all of the types and like the sun conure. I need to do a lot more research. I was going to get the cage in advance. It's 22"L X 24"W X 51"H. I am hoping this is big enough. It opens up at the top and you set a perch there. I was also planning on buying lots of toys. I was going to put it in the front room. Unfortunately it's right as you walk out of the kitchen but it is well ventilated. My biggest concern is that we use hard anodized non-stick cookware by kenmore. Is this going to be an issue? I can put the bird in a different part of the house while cooking. We have a small dog that's kind of yappy but gets over new animals being in the house relatively quickly. We do use perfume/cologne but will not have contact with the bird after putting it on for a while later because of our schedules. The candles and air fresheners are about gone so no more will be bought. So my concern is if my house is suitable for a sun conure.
Thank you
Thank you
