I don't have any experience with birds, but for a while now I've been thinking about getting a small parrot. I've had a hamster and a beta fish in the past, but from what I've heard,birds are more high maintenance than other pets, so I don't know if i'm prepared to look after one. I've fallen in love with linnies, but i haven't been able to find much information about them and i have a lot of questions. if you could answer any of them I would be very grateful.
Questions:
1. how loud are they?are they suitable birds to keep in an apartment?
2. how much time do you have to put aside to care for them every day (cleaning their cage, preparing their food, bonding and training them,anything else they need)
3. how cuddly are they- I've heard that they are calm and inquisitive- is this true?
4.how often should you feed them vegetables, seeds and nuts as well as their pellets?
5.how often do they bite and how much does it hurt- do they break the skin?
thanks for your help!
