Hi everyone,
I'm a relatively new poster here. I live in Georgia, 35 y.o., married, and work from home. I have a lifelong history with birds and have had linnies, zebra finches, and a Hahns macaw in the past. I currently have an adult male parrotlet and am considering getting a second bird.
For a while, my choices have been narrowed down to either a green cheek conure or a cockatiel. I think a cockatiel may be a better fit for my husband and myself; however, I have some allergy issues and would like to spend time around a cockatiel to see if I am allergic to their dander. Does anyone here live in Georgia? I haven't been able to find anyone local to me with a cockatiel, or even a pet store that carries them so that I could test my allergies there. I live in Athens.
