Moving in
So, I live in an apartment and have decided to get a bird! I am a lifelong pet owner but have never had a bird, so I've done quite a bit of research about which one might be right for me. I've read that p'lets are comparatively quiet, yet fun and interactive birds...but I have also read that they can be quite a handful. I would dearly love some advice on whether you think my situation is right for one! I definitely do not want to bring one home and then have it get sick or unhappy from some factor I didnt know about.
My situation is: I live in a 2br apartment, and the p'let's cage would be kept in my room (to minimize noise for the roomie in other room). The room has a large window, and the bird would have ambient lighting throughout the day (but I could leave a light on for it if that is needed). I work from 8:30-5pm every day, but am home after that. I would
probably have about an hour a day to devote my whole attention to the p'let, plus more time just hanging out with it doing work and such. Is there anything about this that would be a problem?
Also, some general questions- are they very messy birds? can they be trained where to use the bathroom? are they
particularly active in a certain part of the day- aka would they be able to hang out in the evening? are there any vital environmental factors I should consider (such as temperature, etc)? I have read article after
article but I would love to hear from people who actually own one lol. Are there any little-known pitfalls?
I also welcome any recommendations for an alternative bird Thanks so much!!
