Hello Everyone!
I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have an extensive track record of rescuing several of the pets in my life, and finding them forever homes. I've had great pets and not so great pets. From the terror of a Chow Chow that ran through our screen door on a regular basis, to the sweet Schnauzer babies I currently own I have always owned a dog, or rather they own me.

It was rough time for me, so when my aunt introduced me to this beautiful bird I instantly fell in love with him. It is my only good experience with birds. He was very affectionate, loved giving me kisses and always wanted to be on my shoulder. I was sad to leave him more than I was to leave my family. He was great at repeating words and was quick to say things like "I love you" "Hello" "Oh shut up". <br> He was very vocal and required a lot of attention. I wouldn't wear shiny earrings or piercings around him though. He was sure to grab them and attempt to tear them off. He would playfully nip at you if you ignored him, but it wasn't terrible. I imagine if he'd really wanted to hurt us he could have. He was friendly with women, but didn't really have an affinity for men at all. I think it was because he was raised among women.but, I was feeling similarly towards that gender at the time so I didn't blame him. His food was a little pricy and he destroyed his toys on a regular basis, so make sure you have the money to invest in keeping them entertained. <br>****this bird was hand-fed and raised since he was a baby****<br><br>Pros: Friendly, Social, Active, Fun, Very Smart, Mimics a lot of noises and words (he even barked like the dogs in the house), dances, likes to be held, healthy<br><br>Cons: Big, requires a lot of attention, messy, loud (there is no off button for your convenience), likes shiny objects and will pull at earrings and piercings){kind=link}
, their tail is a formidable weapon, they get very big.){kind=link}
. These birds wanted nothing to do with me, aside from taking the treats I gave them and eating the food I offered them. Even when I dedicated several hours a day to them, the most they would do was take food from my hand. They would bite me if I offered them my hand to walk on.<br> Unfortunately, despite keeping them well fed, hydrated and providing them with a clean environment, my birds got sick and died. <br><br>Pros: relatively affordable, not as messy as other birds, beautiful birds, nice song, energetic, social with each other, <br><br>Cons: still a little messy, they can be very loud when they start squawking, mine were not friendly, susceptible to illness){kind=link}
