Yeah this came out of nowhere. Some kid in the same complex where we live decided it was time to free his parrot because he didn't want it. My husband's friend saw the whole thing happen, and when the kid went inside she went over and picked the baby up. (she said she isn't sure what kind of bird it is, but from her description it sounds like a lovebird)
She offered to give us the bird. I am hesitant, because I am still working with Galileo and don't want to overwhelm myself with another fid right now. From what she says, the bird is extremely tame and likes to sit on her shoulder (she is keeping it in an old aquarium for now). What do you guys think? I mean I think I could handle it, but I have a lot on my plate right now and Galileo is a very jealous bird... I just am afraid she might see another flock member as a danger to her and my bond. I could always move the new bird into a separate room?... And then I need a new cage, I have been saving for a new one for Archimedes and have a decent amount (around $200). Could someone link me a good cage for a smaller parrot, too, please?
Gah. I don't know what to do! I do eventually want another bird but this is horrible timing!
