If only there were a bee-bee smiley! Oh well...
I am a marine biology major at Rutgers University, and I am going to Antarctica for penguin research this December. (I love birds, if you can't tell).
My hobbies include archery, SCUBA, and of course, bird-watching!
I don't consider parrot ownership a hobby, but a lifestyle. I do not mind being a slave to a parrot for decades. My brotogeris, Milo, will sadly only have a lifespan of approximately 12 years, however.
As I prepare for my future, and begin making plans for it, I also accommodate for parrot ownership. My first thread here was regarding my consideration of a little corella, but I jump between a few species balancing all of the factors to consider. So much to think about.
Inadvertently, I have learned more about eclectus and feel that their temperament will suit my personality and lifestyle, more.
I'm talkative, but calm. And love training animals to follow commands. Working at an animal shelter (I did rabies control for a few years) has allowed me to learn how to work with animals better.
With this, I have also been witness to the unwanted parrot problem. So I have learned what it means to be a parront in every respect.
But enough about me. I will be making a thread soon when I capture Milo's burrito moments. He loves to be wrapped like a burrito as I pretend to eat him!
I will be sure to update you guys on that phenomenon soon.
Glad to be here, and I plan to participate for the years to come!
Thanks!
