Hello! I am a new member here who is currently seriously considering the keeping of an avian. I am a 16 year old military child who is about to move to Corpus Christ, Texas. The avians I am considering are: a gcc, 'tiel, handraised breeder budgie, grey parrot, or some sort of macaw, preferably green wing or if more manageable maybe a Hahn's. So before you point it out, I am aware of of the implications of owning any bird and am in no specific rush. In fact I plan to volunteer at a local botanical garden which seems to stock large parrots and have identified a reputable pet store that carries a lot of good birds in the area with great reviews. My essential question here would be should I go for a smaller bird that might be less dangerous than a bigger bird even. Though my interest is less or maybe prepare more and try and see if a larger bird is right for me. I do not subscribe to the idea of a starter/beginner bird, but I do understand the technical safety differences between owning a greening and owning a budgie. I know I have limited parental support but they have made it explicit that is will be 90-95% my responsibility, only really for socialization and maybe some birthday food assistance pledges. I do hope that my volunteering will help me learn more as opposed to going in "blind" but I want to know your opinions. I know this is prompt is brief and lacking in a lot of relevant information, but it is being written on a phone and I want to get it out and I figure more infocan be provided per your questions. Thanks for your help guys!!![Yellow1 :yellow1: :yellow1:](/img/parrotsmilie/yellow1.gif)
