Hi I’m looking for advice on how to set my sister-in-law up for success with her first bird. None of my birds need a new home…. I have three beautiful six month old sister parakeets that have lived together since birth. Soooo I’m a bit worried about splitting them up and to make matters worse...

Hey, I go by Beo or Beomi online. I'm Autistic and from Florida, USA and I love parrots and spending time with them. I used to know nothing about birds and parrots, but since moving in with my boyfriend 9 months ago I've fallen in love with all of them and dedicated most of my time to taking...
