Hi,
Thank you for allowing me to join this group. We had a Yellow Nape Parrot for over 34 years and we got him at about 3 months old. We miss him dearly. He was a fabulous talker and enjoyed the hectic, crazy antics of dogs, cats and 4 kids growing up! Needless to say, it is very quiet even though my kids are grown now, they are always here ( I'm a lucky mom)!
One of the reasons I wanted to join, is because I would like to get another parrot and was hoping for some expert reliable guidance.
I am considering another Amazon or maybe even an African Grey. I'm not sure I want another yellow nape because I don't want to compare him to the one we lost. I am leaning towards the African Grey but I am really worried with my barking dogs that it will become stressed and pluck his feathers.
My bird was never DNA sexed but we were told it was a male. My bird had some aggressive times that he didn't want to be handled, which I read was common in males. If this is true, do I want a male or a female? Please help. I know this is a long term commitment and I want to be well informed. TIA
