Hello everyone, I'm new here so still getting used to the categories and I hope this advice seeking thread is posted in the right place . Anyways, this September I will be purchasing a Jardines parrot and am wondering a few things. If you could kindly take the time to answer my questions, I would highly appreciate it.
Firstly, I have read many things on wing clipping and not. I have decided that since I have double layered doors (a solid one inside followed by a glass one), it won't be able to escape outside. Due to this, I will likely be keeping my parrot flighted. My question about this is, although later this can be fixed by recall training, when I get him (from a breeder, so quite young), how should I take him out of his cage early on without him being uncatchable in the house?
Secondly, I was wondering if a 32 x 24 x 35 cage is big enough. He will be spending around 10 hours a day in it while I am at school (minor right now, don't worry about the whole college thing, I will probably live at home during college still) and while I finish up any work and stuff I have, then he will be with me.
Lastly, I couldn't really find too much info on Jardines parrots around here or anywhere really, seems they aren't too popular. I know their personality, size, diet and the essentials like that, but if you guys have a Jardines or a meyers (seems they are quite closely related in personality), please tell me!
Thanks in advance to any answers I may receive
