Sprinting down the street
To get this straight, linnies are my first choice because they are quieter than budgies (other than the occasional contact call) and in my opinion a lot cuter. The fact that they like climbing over flying is also a good trait because I want to be able to do my homework and have my linnie stay with me so I can play with it and not chase it around the house. If I decide to take him/her outside (on a harness of course), there will also be a less chance of them getting away. The only cons for me are they're so hard to find/expensive (but that's only initially so it doesn't matter much in the long run) and their poop. To me though, the pros outweigh the cons by a whole lot.
Budgies are my second choice. They're kinda cute (not as much though), louder, messier (in the sense that they don't drop the food directly down, they fling it out of the cage). Even so, their lifespans are a lot shorter which is ideal since I'm still in school and they are SOOOO much easier to find.
The question is, which one is better for me?
(Yep another copy and paste) Here are things to consider:
~I live in a household of 6
~planning to put bird's cage in the living room where most action is (no direct sunlight or drafts)
~bird will have at least 2 hours of one on one playtime with me out of the cage every day (probably 3 or more on weekends)
~will be half-playing with the bird when doing homework and in the shower (does that count as one on one?) around 3 hours
~will let the bird out of the cage for the hours that I'm not at school once I gain their trust (which is typically around 5-7 hours in total including the one on one time depending on the day)
~made a list on Amazon for all supplies (if you need a picture of that I can put it up)
ALL THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS please correct me if I got the wrong idea of something; this is something of a record for myself, like a list of pros and cons
Sorry if this is extremely miswritten, but it's the end of a long day for me.
