Ok, since I have moved back home with the folks everyone had been drooling over my birdie. My mom even told me it was her bird now yeah right.
My grandmother comes over just to visit Cricket... even if Cricket gives her, what we call, the pterodactyl (dinosaur) scream. Peta knows what I am talking about... its too funny, but very loud. Anyways my grandma (in her 60's, young family )
was talking about how she would like one.
I don’t know what would be a good type for her... I know she would spoil it to death. But I would still need a very forgiving bird, able to deal with her.. umm... craziness? Not sure how to explain. She wouldn’t hit the bird, think she would deff yell at it, positive the bird would learn every swear word in the book (not the cookie baking stereotypical grandmother I know) I tried to take her into getting a teil. My biggest concern is her letting the bird out and not being able to get it back in (due to fear?) I explained to her that no matter what bird she gets she will end up bitten. Another fear is her not being able to tolerate the time it will take to get a bird to warm up to her. And I know she deff wants a talker.
You guys have any ideas on a good species to look into. I know some one with a couple birds that aren’t in great condition who I would love to find better homes for (anyone know anyone who wants a couple miss treated birds- that’s for another tread) well there is this one Amazon that I was told is very aggressive (when I know if he had some better conditions he would come out of it) I just don’t think she could handle it.
