Hi everyone!
I'm looking into getting my first bird, and I've been doing a couple months of research on various different species. Ekkies have really caught my eye, but considering they're a bit on the larger side and seem to have complicated diets, are they suitable for someone that hasn't had a bird before(in your opinion)?
Also, does anyone have a good book or maybe a detailed care guide on their care that you recommend? Even if I don't get one as my first bird I'll probably keep researching so I can get one when I'm more experienced haha
Also also, I have a few questions(if you don't mind)-
1. How big should the enclosure be?
2. Should they live in pairs or alone?
3. Can they be left alone for 8 hours straight about every day(considering I have work and studies) or is that too long?
Thanks!
