hi, I've been wanting a parrot for a while now. I'm 17, and graduate next year. But I'm homeschooled, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands. I know how long parrots live, so I've decided to look at it as a mini marrage. Because it's basically the same thing in a way, I like that it'll live a long time. If for some reason I do get married, I do know that I'll have to take it into the relationship. I've had three cockatiels, but they all hated me... My family had a Quaker parrot for a little while, but it liked to bite me then laugh... So I know for sure I don't want to get a cockatiel, and not a Quaker either. Because it's illegal to have it in ten states, and one of the states I'd like to visit one day. I volunteer at a pet store, so I get to see and work with the parrots they have there. I love it! One problem I've just noticed is that I don't think I want it to be able to talk well... The reason for that is I know some people who swear, and the parrot will be with me most of the time, I don't want it to pick that up and bring it home... Noise is a little bit of a problem too, I don't mind it. But my family probably will, so not something too loud. I want something kinda cuddle (I kinda need it to be cuddle, as I get lonely easily at times), but also can be fine alone while I'm at work. Unless I can get a job that allows me to take it with me, which another pet store might let me do. I've narrowed it down to a Senegal parrot, white bellied caiques, green cheek conure but I'm worried about the nippy part on them... White cap pionus, Maximilian pionus, maters parrot, and parrotlet I like them most but the size it's way too small for me. As I said the nippy part I can't deal with forever, but I don't mind training it to not be nippy. Because I might end up working in a nursing home, and having it as a service parrot. I also babysit at times, so it'll be around children too. But not a lot, because I don't trust them. I pretty much want something cuddly, sweet, gets along with people and other animals, go with the flow kind of parrot. If I didn't put that well, please correct me.
Thanks in advance!
