Hello! As stated above, I would like some input on a few things. I have been wanting a bird for the longest time by now and have pretty much decided on a Green Cheek Conure. I would like some input on weather or not the Green Cheek Conure is right for me and if I, given the living situation I will describe down below, are ready for a bird. I would really like to make sure I can handle a bird before I get one as I would hate to not be able to give my bird the best life possible if I am grossly underprepared.
I am a young teenager who would be keeping this bird in my bedroom on the opposite side of where I would be sleeping. I has put in research for all of the necessities and then some for a bird. Here are what I have managed to find:
Cage- Amazon.com : Prevue Pet Products Wrought Iron Select Bird Cage Black Hammertone 3151BLK : Birdcages : Pet Supplies
Toys- Amazon.com : Prevue Hendryx 62806 Naturals Rope Ladder Bird Toy : Pet Supplies
Amazon.com: Prevue Hendryx 62801 Naturals Coco Hideaway with Ladder Bird Toy: Pet Supplies
Amazon.com : Paradise 2.5 by 9-Inch Knots and Blocks Pet Toy, Mini : Caitec Knot : Pet Supplies
Amazon.com : JW Pet Company Activitoy Olympia Rings Small Bird Toy, Colors Vary : Parakeet Toys : Pet Supplies
Amazon.com : 2 3/4" Bagel Rings Bird Toy Parts 12 Pieces : Pet Toys : Pet Supplies
Cage Perch- https://www.amazon.com/Booda-Comfy-Medium-32-Inch-Colors/dp/B0002563O0/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1482956408&sr=1-3&keywords=conure+perch&th=1
Window/Shower Perch- Amazon.com : Portable Suction Cup Shower Perch Stand for Bird Parrot Macaw African Greys Budgies Cockatoo Parakeet Cockatiel Conure Love birds Bath Perch Toy : Pet Supplies
Hut- Amazon.com: Sun Conure Green Cheek Bird Parrot Shed Hammock Warm Hut Nest (Blue): Patio, Lawn & Garden
Heater- Amazon.com : K&H Manufacturing Snuggle Up Bird Warmer, Small/Medium Grey : Pet Habitat Heat Mats : Pet Supplies
Snacks- Amazon.com : Lafeber Company Nutri-Berries Cockatiel Pet Food, 4-Pound : Pet Supplies
Pellets- https://www.amazon.com/Harrisons-Hi...rd_wg=mVFkt&psc=1&refRID=G210N6F1D6YDSER2MWXR
And I would be chopping up fruits and vegetables for it each day. As for the Conure, I was hoping to get this little buddy: Meet Charlie, a Petfinder adoptable Conure Parrot | Norwalk, CT He is a very cute rescued conure about and hour and a half away from me. He is $125 with cage, toys, and limited food supplies so I figured besides helping house a sheltered conure, I would be able to save $400+ with the little guy if his cage and toys are suitable. If not, I will step in and get those. He would most likely be in my bedroom, as this is the place where I would be allowed to keep him and I would be able to interact with him a lot more than if he was in another area of the house.
Another thing is if a conure is right for me. Here are my needs in a bird, please tell if they are suitable for a conure:
I would like a bird that is quiet enough for a heavy sleeper such as myself to sleep across the room with, although I can get over some noise and adjust to it as I continue to take care of him/her. I would also like to have a bird that allows enough interaction to the point where I could perch it, and possibly even put it on my shoulder and/or teach it tricks, although I do know that this is partly bird specific. Also, I would like a bird with a big personality. And one more thing, I want a bird that can be a loving companion for as long as it lives.
So, I am deeply sorry if this is a lot of things I am asking you guys to read over, and I am sorry if I am being a little to needy/pesky. But, reading the information above, can you please answer three questions:
1: Is a Green Cheek Conure the right bird for me?
2: Am I responsible/able to keep a bird?
3: Are the items I listed suitable for this bird to live a happy life?
Thank you in advance!
