So i can't help but mention my plans. I need to talk about it lol. One more bird. Possibly in a few years or sooner. I have fallen in love with cockatoos. Have been for two years. Of course, any species is an option. Big or small. As long as she/he connects with me. I am excited to adopt one day, as you can tell I can't help myself. But it will probably be a long while. My favorite two are Sulfer Crested and Umbrella. Next would be Goffins. The rescue mainly has sulfer crested so that is the most likely.
I have started compiling lots of resources I may need in the future. Feel free to share advice and resources, especially relating to cockatoos. (Drop some screaming Too videos if you want!). I want to be as prepared as possible. I want to be the best possible home. I want to do it right.
One question I have related to time. Has anyone waited to adopt vs adopting right now? Was it worth the wait or do you wish you'd started your journey earlier? Or for those who did adopt, do you wish you'd waited?
I plan on waiting on adopting possibly until I move. I'm not sure when is the right time. But I could afford to adopt sooner. My current household is active and noisy. I have a lot of animals in the house, and a lot of humans. I also feel I cannot adopt while I have Felix. Combining his constant noise and a cockatoos' might really upset my roommates. One or the other would be more manageable. Those are my biggest reasons to wait.
