To be honest, I only started looking at parrots as my girlfriend kept on commenting about the smell of my pet mice
The more research I did, the more I was impressed by parrots!
Only 3 months ago, I used to think birds just flutter in the cage, chirping & nothing more... but now I admit that is a very wrong generalisation!
Lolly is my first pet bird. (not counting some backyard chickens when I was younger) She is a Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure. I got her from a breeder at the start of April at 12 wks old & I couldn't be happier! The only thing was that she came with wings clipped. Hopefully, Lolly will still be tame & not develop a massive ego once her flight feathers grow back!
She has settled in quickly to her new home, & though initially afraid of new objects, is happily stepping up to me now & very well behaved, dispite the few hard nips every now & then. She was also very easy to potty train & knows to hold it in until I put her back on the perch!
I love my Lolly! (whoever started to use "birdbrain" as an insult never had a parrot!
)Reading the posts so far, everyone seems to be very helpful on this forum!
Looking forward to making some new friends & sharing stories of Lolly!
Given that she is my first bird, no doubt I'll have plenty of questions to ask you experts too
