Yeah I Highly Reccomend Doing Your Research
I Researched On A Daily Basis And Visited Endless Articles,forums And Red Multiple Books And Spoke To A Lot Of Ppl Who Had Parrots
We Still Wanted A Grey (at That Time I Already Thought I Wanted A Grey But Wans't Sure But A Bird Of Some Sort)
Anywho About A Year Later We Got Ajax...
ALSO U GOTTA BE SURE THAT U ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE TO SUPPORT THESE BIRDS
I KNOW ALL THESE REPLIES SOUNDS "HARSH" BUT I USE TO WORK IN THE PET INDUSTRY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS AND I'VE SEEN COUNTLESS PPL WANTING AN ANIMAL ON IMPULSE AND THEN A YEAR LATER I SEE THEM SELLING IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE "NO TIME" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT (I SAW A LEOPARD GECKO THAT WAS ON SALE AND THE GUY SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR IT.. THO IT TAKES A TWICE A WEEK OF POOP SCOOPING AND OFFER IT FOOD EVERY OTHER DAY AND OF COURSE FRESH WATER DAILY... SERIOUSLY HOW MUCH TIME DOES THAT TAKE? I GUESS SOME PPL RATHER SIT AND WATCH TV FOR 30 MINS THEN TAKE 10 TO FEED AND CLEAN THEIR PETS)
OKOK ENOUGH OF MY RANTING
THE FINANCIAL ASPECT IS THAT
U COULD BRING YOUR PARROT IN FOR A "REGULAR VET CHECK" AND IT COULD END UP COSTING U 500$ INT HE END..
THAT HAPPENED OT USE WHEN WE BROUGHT AJAX FOR HIS WELNESS CHECK
THE BREEDER WAS UNETHCIAL (AJAX WAS SEVERLY UNDERWEIGHT;IF HE LOST 10 MORE GRAMS HE WOULD BE STAYNG AT THE VETS, BREEDER'S BAND WAS TOO TIGHT AND WORSE OF ALL HE HAD MISSING TOES)
IT'S SOMETHING TO SEIROUSLY THINK ABOUT.. IT'S BASICLLY LIKE HAVING A KID THAT NEVER GROWS UP AND MOVES OUT...
KIDNA LIKE HAVING A 5 YEAR OLD FOR THE NEXT 60+ YEARS
SOMETHING TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT
