I need bird advice please2007-11-24 17:22:25

I have been researching birds for about 6 years and i have this weird love for all birds i currently own 6 finches and 2 parakeets who are all in very good health, but i would like to, sometime in the future, purchase another kind of bird. Any suggestions?

Answers:

Hi!

I think it is so wonderful that you have done the research! You must know quite a bit about different species by now. That's great!

Well let's see.

Do you have any idea what you think you would like? I mean have you narrowed down the list at all?

There are some questions you need to ask yourself before making this decision:

How much room do you have?

How much time do you have?

What level of expertise are you at when it comes to training?

How much money can you afford for initial cost of the equipment and monthly upkeep?

How much time are you willing to spend on learning more about Positive Reinforcement Training?

Once you figure out what you are willing to invest in the terms of time, effort and sweat equity in learning about training, you can then determine what you can handle.

On to getting your bird:

Have you considered adoption?

This is such a great approach to obtaining a little guy. I have 4 Finches and 2 parrots I have adopted and I cannot tell you how gratifying it is.

There are many Parrot Rescue and Adoption Agencies that would love to work with you in locating a bird that would fit the bill for you! As I do not know where you are, I cannot recommend one for you, but they do tend to refer each other quite often. Find the one closest to you and email them and I am sure you will be referred to someone who can help you.
