Since many have advised me not to get a parrot, I'm looking into doves and button quail. Wondering if either can be tamed? Experiences?
However, there is a lower life expectancy for a dove, so this is, practically speaking, a shorter term commitment with less potential costs. It sounds from her previous posts that she has been generally successful in getting her parents on board and has been honest about vet bills and upkeep costs. If her parents are on board with the necessity of taking a sick bird to the vet and providing him or her with the best care possible, I think it's a good idea.I still think you should wait later in life for a bird period. Not just a parrot. Vet bills still cost the same and the future will probably be the best time to consider a bird.
Thank you so much for your support! Maybe I could get one during the summer when I have more time to tame him or her so when school starts we already have a bond.However, there is a lower life expectancy for a dove, so this is, practically speaking, a shorter term commitment with less potential costs.
