Hi folks!

I just want to say hi--
I'm new here and am interested in getting a parrot.
The choices are overwhelming, so I'm hoping you guys will help me narrow down and point me in the right direction on what would be a suitable bird for our family.

I am an animal nut and have 2 yellow labrador retrievers, a parakeet, a leopard gecko and a bearded dragon. also have 2 kids - son, 15 yr old and daughter 11.


'hope to get lots of great info here!!
I'll post more details/questions in the other sections.

thank you for the welcome!

Yup, I've never owned any other type of bird besides a budgie, but I've had several growing up and currently have one which is technically my daughter's. Her name is Snowy.

Welcome! Is that OC as in "the OC"? Think we have almost enough members for a special chapter there! Big bird mart next month at the Pomona Fairplex, just in case you haven't seen everything you are considering before then.

Yup, the infamous OC.
So there are lots of people here from Orange County??
that's great! I'd love to get local references.

what is a Big Bird Mart? Is it a bird show where breeders/vendors get together? Can you give me a web link for it?
Thanks!!
