A quick unsolicited backstory: I posted on here a while ago asking if it was okay to keep a parrot in an outside aviary during the day, and bring them in at night as my mum would not allow the bird to be inside while I was at work and she was at home (that was her compromise to let me have a bird).
I was very iffy about this even though I was fully prepared to do whatever it took to keep my bird as safe as possible.
The other day, my Mum came to me and said that she did a lot of thinking, and said that when I get a bird, it can stay inside!!! She said it took a lot of reading and thinking for her but she’s happy to welcome a little feathered family member into the house!
Anyway, the main point of my post is this:
What are the pros and cons of owning one of the following species of parrot…
- male eclectus
- hahn’s macaw
- green cheek conure
I’ve done lots of research and know what I’m getting into with each of these species. But I would REALLYYYY love some personal anecdotes and experiences with any of these (the good and the bad) - I’m only getting one by the way, these are just the species I’m choosing out of
Any answers would be sooooo much appreciated. Thank you so much everyone!
