Wow.. I'm very angry right now... I just typed like an essays worth of questions, etc, and then after I clicked to send, it had logged me out. I am having a bad day and this didn't make it any better. I'll try to start over again.
For feeding I'm basically going off of how I feed my hamsters. Their main diet is lab blocks with about a tablespoon of mix a week. For a bird I would guess maybe a little more than that a few time a week? And we can't forget the fruits and veggies.
I want a companion bird. Something I can cuddle with and that is sweet and loving, but a bird that can be independent when need be and not something that is extremely loud. I would probably get a smaller bird like the ones already mentioned because I want to be able to provide for the bird, though I would have liked to have snagged the bare eyed cockatoo from Petco yesterday. What a sweetie she was.But I know better.
Does gender matter? I know that in hamsters males tend to be a bit calmer and more laid back then females.
If I get one will it bond closer to me? Or is it best to get two?
What kinds/sizes of cages do you recommend? What do you think of a cage this size?
.Cage
Or like this?
Another Cage (this one comes as a starter kit)
What about the vet? How often does a bird to need to see a vet and about how much does it cost?
Now I hope you all don't mind me asking all of these questions. I just feel that it is better to get opinions rather than to just head straight for the books or google every time.
Thanks again.
