Still waiting....

I had my heart set on a Moluccan or an Umbrella for years and years. They are so beautiful and expressive with their crests! But after much reading, research and a lot of contemplating, I know that those particular types of toos are way too much bird for me. I want our parrots to be happy, not suffer.

My personality is quiet and passive so a Zon may not work either, lol. Trixie's personality is already like a mini-Zon. Very spicey. Anyhow, an RB2 seems like a good fit for us. We've been wanting a larger parrot for years and like the IR's as well. But, we keep coming back to the Galahs.

I've always been drawn to and amazed by the larger 'toos but after learning about their possible emotional and behavior issues I just don't know if I could handle that much bird either. After learning that galahs are more independent but still cuddly, smart, and family birds I knew it was a match.

Maybe down the road quite a few years and after I've got more bird experience under my belt I may be able to give an m2 or U2 a try. That's a big 'maybe' though.

I also used to want a M2 or a U2. They incredible birds! I was drawn away from them when I relized that they don't do well in captivity and are highly prone to neurotic behavior as well as their unpredictable nature.

If I ever got a M2 or a U2 I would want a fully mature rehome that is mentally healthy, I never want to deal with a large too as it matures.

That's a good point! I think maybe after my son starts going to school and I have even more time, I could possibly bring home an older, mature, and mentally stable too. But I think an RB2 is a good start for me this baby is going to be spoiled!

At one point I told my husband I do NOT want a cockatoo... And then when I was showing him videos of galahs he asked what kind it was lol uhhh...errrr... It's a cockatoo... Lol! Then I had to explain that when I said "I never want a cockatoo" I was referring to "the big white ones" lol
Guess I jinxed myself because now we have a cockatoo coming home!! Hahaha
