Hey ya'll!

Hi! I'd just like to introdruce myself and tell a little about me!

My name is Amanda and I'm 17 years old!

I live in WA state, I'm a Senior in highschool. I am in 4-H showing rabbits and loving every minute of it! I play the keyboard, swim, bike, ride quads, hike, horseback riding, pretty much anything outside I love to do! I am an amateur photographer, and photography is my life.

For my grad. present I am going to buy/adopt a parrot! Hopefully a Sun Conure. I have loved birds for longer than I can remember and have always wanted a parrot! I have no experience with birds but I have done quite a bit of research and plan on doing much more before getting a parrot. I have almost gotten a couple parakeets but was then unable to because I didn't have enough time for a bird. I now will have more time to bond and train a bird. I am hoping to be able to get a parrot by the end of spring next year.

Until then I hope to meet current bird owners and learn so much more!

Thanks Sailor. Thats exactly why I'm on here, to make sure I am ready for a bird and too learn and get advice.

I am very responsible as I have 13 rabbits and my sister and I breed them (purebred, not mixes), and I love animals to death, I would never hurt an animal.

You should post in Bird discussion an conure section if that is the type you are looking for. Most of the people looking to learn about birds and what bird they should get go there. Hope to see in the site
