Hello everyone!
I have been researching about some species i'd like to adquire. I actually would like to have someday a middle-big sized parrot. I've been researching on macaws, but they live too long and i'd probably die before the bird and i wouldn't like not being able to take care of it and not knowing what would happen with the bird after i pass.
I also did research on kramer parrots (psittacula krameri) but even though they are beautiful they dont seem to fill what i expect of a feathered companion.
Rosellas are stunning and colorful, though they don't seem to be my type of parrot.
Lastly, i found princess parrots and i liked what i found. I will be getting my rosy this year and i was thinking getting a middle sized bird to keep him company.
Of what i've read i find princess parrots kinda alike and i have read they are gentle with grasskeets, though i would like to ask some questions to princesses owners ^-^.
I don't seem to find info about their destruction level. Do they tend to be too destructive? Do they like to play with toys?
I've heard they can be noisy, noise its not a problem for me nor my neighbours, i also read they are not the "cuddly" type of birds but i don't really mind that, though i'd like a calm bird like would like to hang out with me when i work at home or when i read or watch a movie ^-^
Also, i would like to keep him and my bourke inside and let them hang out with budgies in the aviary during the day, are they peaceful? Do you believe it's sage for them or my budgies to share some time together during the day? My aviary is a closed room of 10 square meters. This summer i will be building the outside part! Not quite sure about its measures yet.
I want to harness train both my bourke and my princess, though i am not sure if princess tend to be trainable. I am planning to send an harness to my breeder and ask him to suit him before handfeeding, this way he should get used to it!
Oh, and i also read they are prone to worms and that is necessary to deworm them every three months. Is this true?
I'll appreciate anything you can point out about these beautiful parrots ^-^
Thank you!
