Hello from Sydney, Australia.

Hello,

I am from Sydney, Australia and will be getting a bird soon. I hoped this forum would be a great place for info and suggestions. :) I don't have any birds at the moment but cannot wait to get another one. I really love birds and find they seem to "like me" when I play with them at pet stores and stuff. I've had a pet rainbow lorikeet and nanday conure in the past, and played with a lot of different tpyes including cockatoos and macaws, I also hope to own a green win macaw one day.

So welcome & good luck !

Hi there! I just joined myself -- it's nice to see another Sydneysider

What parrot are you looking to get? I came across a very promising looking bird store in Rosebury online awhile ago, spe******ing in hand-raised parrots. I'm yet to suss it out, but I know they've currently got a blue and gold macaw in store. Here's their website if you're interested (but I'm sure you've already got breeders lined up!):

Welcome, and good luck with the bird search, I find that the best part. I love the anticipation as you wait or decide which to bring home but beware you know what they say, once you pop on one you can't stop!

Hi & welcome. A green wing macaw they are very beautiful but alas very few of them in Australia. A friend of mine has been looking for one for a number of years & had to settle for a Blue & Gold.

Good Luck in your search. But in the mean time do as much research as possible & educate yourself on parrot behavior.
