Hi everyone!
I wonder if anyone wanted to share stories of where “the bird chooses the caretaker”?
I’ve started my search for a feathery companion in earnest and I’ve been surprised in the process!
I’d been targeting Green Cheek Conures and Cockatiels, but I’ve been sideswiped by two Caiqes and a Lorikeet.
In all occasions the Cockatiels and GCC’s have been ok, but seemed a bit indifferent and needed encouragement to step up and interact with me.
On the other hand the caiques and the lorikeet practically threw themselves on me and were adorable from the outset.
I’d have brought the Lorikeet, but a bit of research told me they were unsuitable. I couldn’t keep up with the diet and I rent a place and the projectile poop didn’t sound very compatible.
I’m now researching Caiques in a lot more detail and they might be a match.
Buuuut, I’d not really considered these birds prior to this and they just sort of happily wanted to get to know me… and suddenly I remembered I’d heard a lot about the idea that the bird chooses the caretaker!
I’d love to hear if there were similar stories and how they played out!!
