I have a few things to raise my hand up here and say
1. whatever bird you decide on good luck im sure it'll be very fun and rewarding for you but challenging as well!
2. Lovebirds i wouldnt say you can bond with well unless someone is only adopting one and has time to play with it all the time. When I was younger I was sold two peace faced love birds, hand raised...they were soooo sweet for a few weeks, then started trying to rip my fingers off, then tried to kill my parakeets through their cage they weren't the best lil guys but i will say they were very smart! I gave up on them and my mom adopted them....she put them in her bathroom in a smaller cage (not sure why) and we had left to go grocery shopping when we returned, they had gotten out of the cage (opened the door) and either they flew in the toliet to bathe or just accidentally fell in we still arent sure but both were drowned in the toliet...we assume theyg ot soaked and couldnt fly out...it was really upsetting.
3. Conures make wonderful companions...I had the opporutinty to own one in his last few days of life and i jsut loved him! Before i aquired him as my own I got to play with him for a few weeks, and had so much fun with him. He was loud and obnoxious when he was not being played with and sometimes he'd throw temper tantrums and bite really hard. He died because my aunt transported him to me in her car in the heat of summer....we think he had a heat stroke...we're not sure but she was giving him to me because he and i had sucha strong bond, but he litterally died 4 days after i got him adn i was devistated. I hope to get one again from a breeder a just weaned chick if I can....so i am all for good intending breeders!
Just really study up on each bird you are interested in and if you can even go visit these specilized established breeders of these birds, then if you can visit owners of these birds who have htem as pets so you can experience what their temperments are like in the breeding homes and in the pet homes. Might be a good idea.
As for the lil birds (even parakeets) it's amazing how many get "released' or "lost" into the world because of one fault or mistake or another. I jsut a few weeks back tried catching the most beautiful parakeet i've ever seen that landed in my yard (with leg bands) i never was able to catch it but came close, i am pretty sure it was a young show parakeet, in themost gorgeous color i've ever seen and im suer someone was missing it greatly and im sure it's been killed or died from the cold and that makes me so sad....
Edited to add, yay im glad you re-decided to just adopt instead! GO YOU!
