Hello all, I'm Ava from PA, and I have been researching parrots for a couple of months, trying to find out all I can before purchasing a companion bird for myself and my husband.
I have tentatively decided on a sun conure that I have interacted with at a local pet store.I fully understand they are loud at times, and have been exposed to the piercing screams he sometimes makes when he is demanding attention, but I am still willing to have this lovable little clown become a member of my household.
I have owned cockatiels before, and (thanks to the knowledge and experience I gained from working in a pet shop that specialized in birds) I hand raised a sweet lutino peach faced lovebird for my nephew about six years ago. Unfortunately, we were struck by the tragedy of a house fire, and we had to re-home our 'tiels so we could pick up the pieces and find a new place to call home.
It has been seven years, and we are ready for another parrot. Our only bird at the moment is a pretty little pied canary named Tigs. And while I love him dearly, the house just isn't the same without the special kind of love that only a parrot can bring. Any advice, thoughts, or information would be greatly appreciated!
