Hi, im Robin it is a pleasure to untroduce myself and meet everyone.

I do not have a bird but have been doing extensive research on adopting one. I am new to the forms community and hope to learn some new things here. Thank you for having me

Welcome aboard. I'm so glad you want to adopt a bird instead of buying from a pet store or getting a baby from a breeder. That's all we usually hear from new members. It's so refreshing to me personally. For that reason alone I am glad to support you.

I will offer you some sound advice as someone who has never owned a bird. It's great that you are doing research but you can read and research until your eyes fall out. None of that will give you what you need which is exposure to actual birds. Go and volunteer at a bird rescue (they can always use the help). Get your hands dirty and get some in your face experience. This will show you the reality of owning and looking after a parrot. (We all have a "vision" of parrot ownership. Reality is much different)

By volunteering at a rescue you will be exposing yourself to many and different kinds of birds. There will be a special bird in that "picks you". That is the bird you will have the greatest connection with and the most successful relationship with.

Volunteering at a rescue also lets the rescuers get to know you and really shows your commitment to a bird. You will get guidance and valuable insight from them and that special bird. I wish you luck.

John said everything perfectly! I can't add a word. I am speechless, which you will learn is almost never.

:super:We love New Roadies!!! I waited a long time before I actually got a bird because I was terrified of parrots. As a five yearold, a HUGE green parrot chased me down the road when we lived in Baltimore. But that Trauma was cured when my wife left me and abandoned her budgies and lovebirds. It was either take care of them or watch them starve. So now I have multiple birds....

I'm a new adopter too. I didn't have options like @JLcribber mentions, but it's a really good idea if you can. We've had such a great time together so far... Even the tough days have been good overall.
