Hi. I am 21 and I still live at home (probably will for quite some time sadly.) I have 2 cockatiels (Chico and Bella) and a parakeet (Bandit). When I was much younger we had an African Grey (Murphy) who was wild caught () and not real friendly with anyone other than my dad. I could scratch his head through the cage and give him treats. Sadly, he died a year or so after my dad died. We also had many other parakeets (6 other parakeets) who all died of old age. Bandit is currently 10 years old.
A friend found Chico in her backyard. Nobody claimed him so she gave him to me. He is estimated at 7-8 years old. Bella is about 4 years old.
I am currently in the process of deciding which species I will get next. I have quite a bit of time to decide (and want to make the right choice) because I cannot get another feathered friend until I find a job and save up some money (currently, my mom is paying for the birds. she doesn't like birds but doesn't mind having them if I take care of them and pay for any new additions.)
