I've been looking into getting a parrot for a while now. Just would like some thoughts from others who have had them or have them currently. I've been looking at indian ring necks and have been facinated by them. I do understand they can lead very long lives and am willing to commit. Just a few questions:
-Would it be best to adopt one or get one from a breeder who has been handfed and is ready to go to a new home?
-How trainable are they? I work from home so I am here constantly and would love to have someone to talk with
-How are they with children? I have two so would like something that is friendly and that they can enjoy as well.
Not looking jump and get one tomorrow. This would be in a few months or possibly even a year when my youngest is off to school. Just would like some thoughts and experiences from others to see what they're like. Not looking into getting a pair or breeding so would be a family pet (male or female wouldn't matter to me at all) I'd love to see pictures as well.
Thanks in advance!
