Hello there everyone! After lurking on these forums for a few months, I've finally made an account.
I've been doing as much research as I can before getting a new family member hopefully this June, and I'll have plenty of questions in the mean time to make sure I know what I'm doing!
Okay, now I should introduce myself, I believe. Sorry if it gets long!
My name is Kay, I'm a college student who still lives with her parents in the snowy New England area. I have a cat and two Guinea Pigs, the latter of which has always been my responsibility to take care of. Years ago, we had a pretty blue Budgie that I aptly named Birdie, (I was little!) and she was happy with us for many years.
Now my heart calls me back to having a bird. My aunt, a proud owner of a Senegal for over 10 years, has gifted me a cage that her bird didn't like. It seems big enough to fit any one of the small parrot types; Cocktiel, Senegal, Conure, etc. I'm planning on going to a parrot rescue because I've read from here and elsewhere it's the best way to get a bird. So here's to hoping it all works out.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you around!
