Hello Everyone,
Im currently new to this forum so I hope I posted this topic in the right category. I really want the company of a large parrot such as an african grey or eclectus however Im not sure if its possible with my current Job. Im a working high school photographer that does some traveling. Its a "part time" job however I usually average 30 hrs a week over 3 days of working. So on average im working nearly 10 hrs a day. I usually dont get back home till 7pm however for the rest of the week unless I have a wedding gig, I have no other commitments. I heard its possible to change a parrots biological clock so it doesnt have to sleep at dusk and wake at dawn? The cage I have been looking at is 24 x 36 x 66in and I plan on filling it with foraging toys, chewing toys and have a radio outside the cage. My partner works similar hours but she arrives much earlier around 5pm. My schedule is always changing so im never working the same days everyweek. Is it possible to own a grey or eclectus with these hours? Would it cause behavioral problems? Does anyone have a parrot and work similar hours like mine? Is there another parrot more suited to my life style? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
