I am here at this forum to gather information and such BEFORE i get my bird. I would really like to own an African Grey but I am looking into something smaller first. I have found a Nanday Conure that needs a home and I am considering him greatly. I hope I can find some Nanday owners and get some information. I found this forum through Kili's owner on Youtube LOVE your videos. Glad to be here and can't wait to poke around and get to know some of you

Welcome!

It's great that you're doing a lot of researach before you get your bird! With parrots it's definitely easier to prevent problems than to deal with them after the fact. And a lot of problems can be prevented by getting a type of parrot that suits you. Good luck with your research!

I would really like to own an African Grey but I am looking into something smaller first.

Make sure you get a bird that you truly want. Too often birds get rehomed because people want to get a 'starter' bird but then they quickly realize that they're not happy with it because it wasn't what they really wanted in the first place. I wanted a macaw but I decided one wouldn't be a good first bird so I went with a smaller parrot too, after a lot of research I decided on a Yellow Crowned Amazon . I'll still get a macaw one day, but my first bird will always be #1 to me .

Hope you enjoy the forum!

Hi and welcome!

My first bird is my Senegal Noodle. I was actually holding out and waiting to get an african grey but I visited a pet store and fell in love with Noodle.
I love her to bits!
I now have my african grey too so my flock is full and happy!
