I'm about 5-minutes new to the forum, and I thought this would be a perfect forum to post a question I've had brewing for quite some time.
I've been preparing for getting a Parrotlet ever since I was about 12 years old, so it's been a gooood long while. I've looked up guides on what kinds of food they eat, how large a cage you're supposed to get, what kinds of toys to get, etc.
So here's my question. Soon i'll have about a grand saved to start buying the cage, initial toys, and various water-feeders and things. I wanted to make sure I know atleast how much I should have set aside once I finally buy my new Parrotlet [i'll probably try for one that's a couple weeks old] so that I know I can pay for the first 2-3 months worth of stuff. That way as I earn more money, I know how much I should have set aside per month at the very least.
Between food, new toys, possible health concerns, treats, and etc.--how much do you spend each month on a single Parrotlet? I'm not quite sure how much one of them eats each week, but I know about how much food costs out here where I live.
Any tips you think I might not know on raising a happy and healthy bird would be muchly appreciated!
