Hello! My name is Kayt. I have been doing research on parakeets (specifically Green Cheek Conures) for over a month and a half now. My mother is very hesitant and all I have received from others is negative feedback on birds. I really need to ask others that have birds what they think I should do here because I am totally lost. My biggest concern is college. I do want to go to college, and I have done research that some colleges allow birds, but not most and none near me, so I would probably have to go out of state (I live in Maine). I also just thought about not living in a dorm and just driving to and from college when I have classes. It's a really big commitment so i am trying to really way all of the pros and cons. A lot of people say that a lot of birds just have really aggressive and mean personalities, and that I'll be screwed over for 15+ years with a grump and irritable bird which I am nervous about.
I really want a bird to train and play with and spend time with and interact with. I would love to have that companionship and it seems like the best pet for me to have. I want to give it this fulfilling life and I don't want to get one and regret it forever like everyone tells me I will. Are birds really that awful of pets? Will I be miserable forever with him/her? What if I don't have enough time or can't keep up with them financially?
I'm just really in a bind. I don't want to want until I finish college. I want to live and enjoy it and live in the moment, but I don't want to make a careless decision here if that makes sense. I think they are so amazing and sweet and cool and smart and I want to have that companion and long term commitment. I'm just really lost. What do I do???
Thank you so much. I appreciate your time reading this.
