Hi, my name is Brian I and I am new to this forum. I have never owned a parrot before, but I have done a lot of extensive research on them. I have loved parrots ever since I was 10 I picked up a BirdTalk magazine from my school library ever since then I have been nothing, but crazy about them.
My first experience with a parrot was with a cockatiel at a local pet store. That was probably one of my favorite memories. Even though it wasn't particularly a good memory lol. The woman who worked at the pet store was trying to get it to perch on my finger. I think I wasn't holding my finger still so the cockatiel was trying to grab on to my finger and I thought it was trying to bite me. I've been to a exotic bird store before named Omar's this also made a really positive influence on me. There was a green checked conure who climbed on to my arm and sat on my shoulder. I always wanted a parrot and plan to get one when I am independent.
