Hi,
This is my first post. I've researched as much as I can on this topic but thought I'd create a post. I'm wanting a meyers or brown head but making sure 40 hrs a week mon - fri is acceptable. I live alone with no kids or pets.
I work 2nd shift 9 months out of the year from 3:15pm to 11:45pm and the other 3 other months first shift from 6am to 2:30pm. When on 2nd shift I get up at 10 or 10:30am and leave for work at 2:45pm. I estimate he would be out of cage time with me 3 and a half hours before work and an hour and a half after work. When I get home at 11:45 I go to sleep at 2am or 2:30am. So he would sleep from 2am to 11am or so? Is that ok for the bird to slee on my schedule?
I just don't want to put a bird through something i would not want to go through. I feel bad leaving him for 9 hrs while at work. I literally live 1 min from work so would come home on lunch break for 20 min everyday. I know thats not much but at least he would see me halfway through my shift. If you believe someone should not work at all or only part time to have a bird please be honest and let me know. I only want to bring one in if he is truly going to be happy. On weekends I don't do much so he'd probably be out with me at least 10 hrs if not more. Sorry for the long post and hopen to get some feed back.
