I know I'm annoying the ever living sh** out of you guys with this, but... Here I am again.
I visited my regular bird store, yet again, today. Spent about 2 hours there. For the past two days I have been SET on a male Eclectus. But, of course, now I'm reconsidering that again. I spent some time with a Bare Eyed Cockatoo and she was sooo cuddly, I loved it.
Now, it's between:
1. Male Eclectus
2. Goffin's Cockatoo
3. Mini-Macaw (Severe or Illiger's)
4. Amazon (Yellow Shouldered, Red-Lored, Lilac-Crowned, possibly Blue-Front)
5. Blue Crowned Conure
Here's a bit about me for newer members, or people who don't know me:
I am 19 years old and will be going to college this fall. I will be away from home for no more than 4 hours each day. I will not have a job for the next 4-6 years. I live in my parent's guest house, which allows me to go without a job and have plenty of free time as well as money to spend on a bird and supplies.
What I want in a bird:
I want a bird I can hang out with for long periods of time. I plan on getting a stand (or making one) that I can put next to the couch, as well as putting a table top one on the table so it can hang out with me while I do homework and such. I want a bird that will be content to chill out and maybe sit on my lap while watching a movie, but also be at least a little playful. I *think* I want a more cuddly bird, but I haven't had much experience in this department, so I'm open to suggestions there. I want a bird I can take with me places, like the park, the local stores, garage sales, people's houses, etc. I want a bird that will be happy to join me in hiking and for walks. I want a bird that I can train to do tricks and such. I want a bird that will bond with me and love to spend time with me.
I know all birds are individuals, but does it sound like maybe one out of my choices are more what I'm looking for?
Thanks... Again!
