I grew up with parrots, but when I went to college they stayed with my parents. My husband who I started dating freshman year, is not into birds AT ALL, so I just kind of put it out of my mind. Every so often we would talk about getting a bird, but the timing was never right.
So I posted on FB today about how much I missed having birds, and a friend of mine who is not doing well health wise, messaged me saying she was needing to rehome her birds, but hasn’t been able to post them yet because she is so heartbroken over it. She has a 5 year old Ring Neck and a year old Senegal. A friend of mine growing up had a Senegal and I LOVED him, so of course I had to bring it up and hubby said ok! I am shocked!!! She has them in a double tiered cage, so I have to go cage shopping since I am not up for two birds, but once everything is ready I will be making the 4 hour round trip to get him!
I am so excited, but also VERY nervous as it has been over a decade since I lived with a parrot. I have experience with all sports or parrots between my dad’s and also working at a zoo, but I am so nervous! I hope he likes me!!!
I would love to hear any tips or see cage recommendations. I will be trying to find a cage locally tomorrow AM, but if not I will plan on ordering one tomorrow online. She recommended an A&E Flight Cage, but would love to see other options if you know of a better one. I am TRYING to stay under $200 since I still need a carrier and all of the other supplies and I wasn’t planning on this happening so quickly!
Anyways here he is! I can’t wait to meet him!
