Hi everyone!!!

Hello everyone! My name is cj and I am 15 years old. I'm new to this forum and am really excited to be part of the family haha. I am a huge bird lover but do not have one as a pet . Unfortunately My mom is afraid of them. She had a bad experience with them as a child. Her mom (my grandma) has an African gray and a blue and gold macaw. The macaw loved my grandma but hated everyone else, including my mom. as a child my mom took a nasty bite from that macaw and ever since them she has been afraid of them. For about four years I have been trying to convince her to let me get a parrot but she has not allowed it. I understand though because if I took a nasty bite from a macaw I would be a little bit hesitant the next time I went to pet one Lol. But anyway this is my first forum so can anyone tell me what exactly I'm supposed to do since I don't have a bird? Thanks
-CJ

Welcome cj!

When you don't have a bird you can still learn about them. Read the posts here, read books, check out other forums. If you are fortunate enough to have a bird rescue nearby volunteer there.
Spend as much time as you can learning about your grandma's birds. and how to handle them without being bitten. If she allows it, try taming and training exercises with them. Click the Trained Parrot Blog link at the top of this page, and see how the Parrot Wizard does it.

Keep us posted as to what you learn. We love pictures!
