Hi Y'all! SUPER excited to be apart of this website!! I am about to be a New Bird-Mommy to-be! I NEED ADVICE!!!
I have a very well-sized cage : maybe about 2.5ft H x 1.5ft W x 2ftL (est.)
I have two perches somewhat lower to the cage- not at the bottom
One perch dish for water (I plan on using an acrylic feeder - If I can get it from WISH quick enough) I also have 3 extra dishes if needed.
One Cuttlebone close to the water
(At the moment) One shiny bell toy (WAITING for my shred toy to come in from wish)
and a Plastic Millet Holder close to one of the perches on the opposite side of the water
I feel like I'm prepared I only need : 1. Cage cover (Goodwill) 2. Bird Pellets (I've decided to feed my bird pellets)
I really want a single bird to bond with. My husband is home majority of the day while I'm at work for 9 Hrs, anyway. I have two very tamed and decently obedient doggies (Chihuahua & Pitbull) - They've already been exposed to the cage for a couple weeks now.
--------------------------------------------
MY QUESTION:
At first, I wanted a Budige - figured out how to tame it and everything (with use of millet) ... But the cage is so big, I feel like maybe a SLIGHTLY bigger bird might do better -so it wouldn't be overwhelmed.
Then I looked into Cockatiels- My husband enjoys this bird to begin with (I was scared at first) ... But in the end with all research, I decided this bird might be wonderful after all! Although, maybe a bit pricey? And not very easy to come by here.
Lastly, The beautiful Lovebird - Easier to obtain, decently priced, I understand males are slightly more sociable- and I understand they're intelligent and ... cuddly? (This bird was less researched than the others.)
At some point I wanted a Conure - Also cuddly. Smart. I'm PRETTY sure I can get this locally. I know I've seen at least 2 times before.
WHICH BIRD DO YOU SUGGEST? &&& ANY TIPS ON SELECTING A BIRD?
