My husband has wanted a bird for a long time, and now that we own a house and have been watching YouTube videos, he has recently gone into bird overdrive. I've always loved the beauty of birds, but never gave much thought to getting one as I had little experience, and had only ever heard negative things.
So we are now in the land of research! There is a breeder with a shop about 20 minutes from us, which has proven to be a great source of education. After discussing our newness to birds plus what we think of as good traits, they recommended the following:
-Blue Fronted Amazon
-Blue Headed Pionus
-Quaker
Two birds we both are interested in that were mentioned to us, and we saw, but weren't immediately recommended are:
-Caique
-Eclectus
(I suspect because Caiques seem be ADHD/Jekyll and Hyde and Eclectus have very strict dietary restrictions, but we were overwhelmed by info and didn't ask for more details on why they weren't recommended specifically)
So I'll be poking around in several threads learning as much as possible. Thank you in advance to anyone who reads this intro and has any information they can share!
