Hi all! I am new to the forum and am calling on all current or past brown headed parrot owners, preferably who have had theirs from that of a hand fed, hand tame baby. My husband and I will be bringing home one of these guys in 3 weeks and what started out an excitement, has turned slightly into nervousness. All of the accounts I've read are of people who have adopted their brown heads once they've pasted maturity and may have already developed trust issues/aggression issues etc. My question is: for those who have started with a hand fed, hand tame baby, how did they turn out, or how have they turned out? I've read a lot of accounts of people stating aggression and biting as main issues, and I don't know that I'm experienced enough to be able to properly work through that. I'm worried we may be making a bad decision, but on the other hand we hear that they are sweet, independant, affectionate birds.
Can anyone chime in on what it's like to own one from that of a baby? What do we need to know to get them through any rough stages? Also, is there any difference in bringing home a male verses a female? I'm almost certain ours is a male (we're currently waiting on DNA results), and we've heard males are harder to handle when they go through their hormonal stages and their adolescence stage. Is this true?
We appreciate ANY advice on what it's like owning these guys. Thank you all
