Thinking of buying a new Parrot *Pic included*

Post by Shawn »

As most of you know I had to sell my flock off when me and my ex broke up.Now I am thinking of getting a new bird.It is a Sunday Conure about 2 years old.
I'll have to buy a cage and all but of all the birds,besides my Black Headed Caique,I have always wanted one of these.I really miss having a clown in the house and the kids are wanting him also.
I went and visited him today and going again tomorrow evening to spend a little more time with him.I have not decided yet if I am buying for sure but I think the price is right.

Sorry such a crappy pic but this was taken with my cell phone.

Conures are cute but loud. Are you sure they are gonna let you have it at your current place?

I decided against getting the bird.The salesperson kept saying the bird was not aggressive but every time I went there the bird was tearing holes in his hand.I went back a couple of times,once right before they closed because he said he was not like that when it was closing time then the next day when they opened cause he said the same thing.I just did not click with this one.
I did with a Sun Conure at petco but it was way out of my price range.I had that one crawling all over me,in my shirt and not one time did it try to bite,but I could not justify spending $600 plus buying a cage on top of that,atleast not on a conure.On an African Grey I would of in a heartbeat.

Yeah, good move, Shawn. Wouldn't you be better off getting a CAG?

Yeah I want another one.I miss having the birds around.I got used to the noises and the company of them and its been pretty quiet with just the cockatiel.

I'll get another Parrot,I just have to find the one that clicks with me.
