Hello, my name is Jessie and I am Autistic. I may communicate very well, but I am lacking in some areas, but I'm good with others such as pet care. It can be hard for me to fully understand some things... My mum has some experience with breeding, raising and training parrots, however she is unfamiliar with the species I want to get. I want to get a Princess Parrot, but my brother, who is also Autistic, tends to tease my pets. I need advice on what I can do to help my parrot avoid him (He's 24) and if a Princess Parrot can take being mildly teased. If not, what kind of parrot would you recommend? I need one I can still train, but won't be big enough to harm my kitten sized cat or my dog. We're not sure how our dog will react (A mini sausage dog) but we know our cats will leave the bird alone. In fact, one time, when a budgie escaped, my cat Gonzo, who had never tried to get it in its cage, caught it and brought it back unharmed. It lived for a few more years after.
Again, I need to know if Princess Parrots can take mild teasing. My brother just can't get it through his head not to tease my pets, I already had to get rid of a turtle trained to bite by teasing.
