Hi!
I've never kept birds before but decided over a month ago that I'd like a parrot (or parrots).
The problem is I just can't decide on what I'd like!
I started off deciding I'd have some budgies, so I put together an indoor aviary but looking at it, I felt that something a little bigger might be nicer so I ended up looking at Cockatiels. Now I'm also interested in Senegals, Conures, Indian Ringnecks and Parrotlets. I can't afford a massively expensive bird and really I'm looking at £150 maximum.
The indoor aviary that I have put together is 3' wide x 4' long x 6' tall with 1" x 1/2" mesh.
I need some guidance on which direction to go in else I fear that I'll still be trying to decide come next year!
Initially I was very concerned about noise but the more time I spend watching parrots on youtube and getting used to the idea of a noisy bird in the house, the more I have come to accept it.
Talking and tricks are of no major concern to me. If a parrot can do those things then great but it has no impact on my choice.
So... help help help!
