bird

I want to adopt a second bird. Gabe gets lonely, and he likes the budgies (parakeets) that my neighbor next door owns. I also want a second bird for myself, as I want someone more playful than he is. I'm moving next summer I think, so this gives me plenty of time to start looking at bird rescues. there's not that many, or that much choice, around where i live though, so I may just end up buying from a pet store - I'd rather not buy from a chain like PetCo, as they tend to come from massive breeders which don't always take the best care fo their birds, but I can check out small local pet stores, and also breeders.

Hi:)

I agree that buying from smaller pet stores or breeders is a better idea. My cousin bought a pet from a big company once and it was sick, she ended up spending a lot more than the hamster to get it well again.

When we lived in Austin texas, there is a suburban Macaw population that live there year round. Like 20-30 mated pairs that just fly around the burbs and next and stuff like that. I was in a chemical plant and we were working at the back and i saw a pair fly by. i aksed my partner if i was seeing things and he told em about that... Very Cool.
