I have owned a cockatiel and a Parakeet before and obviously have chickens. I know, way different lol....But I want a buddy. I want someone to hang out with me and "talk" to me lol. None of my other buddies (as in animals) can talk to me lol. I think this would be fun. But, I would like one that does more talking than squaking. Does anyone near hear have one they are trying to re-home or one I could test out. I know its kind of a long shot, but I thought Id throw it out there just in case. I am more than capable of caring for it. But, if I am going to have a bird that may out live me, I want to make sure I can keep it forever. These birds are very intelligent and I dont want to ruin its life, but abandoning it, if it turns out its not for me. <3
