Hi everyone, I've been doing lots of research for the past month or so and have decided to take the plunge. I want to make the best decision for both me and my bird. Here are the top breeds I am considering, but I still need lots of help and open to other suggestions based on my wants/needs:
Senegal
Bourkes Parakeet
Green Cheeked Conure
Blue Headed Pionus
The bird has a large aviary outdoors and a large cage indoors ready for him/her.
I'm looking for a calmer, affectionate type that is independent for when I'm at work (8-5). There will be days when I can only spend an hour or so with them. I already have a shower perch as well, so I'm hoping for one that enjoys water and I've read it can be a bonding time. No kids, just my partner and I. We live in the suburbs, and since they will be in the aviary sometimes, I prefer one that is on the less noisy side. I know they can all be loud at times. Talking and tricks are not too important, but icing on the cake. Prefer a less bitey breed. Do any of these breeds sing? Could be a plus. I may add a canary or other finch in the future. Also, if I choose the Senegal, Conure, or Pionus I may add the Bourkes later. So any thoughts on which would get along with a Bourkes would be helpful.
Thank you, I'm glad I found this resource...excited to learn more!
