    A Unique Title :o

    Hi, as you may have guessed, I'm new lol. I'm interested in getting a Conure, they're my favorite, or a parakeet as I've been studying and will continue studying them and birds alike. I've never owned a bird before but when we're done moving I'll have a good bit of space and lack of company. I'm homeschooled and Covid's put a big dent in getting a job, so the birdie will have a lot of time with me and I'll be in desperate need of some companionship lol. I've never had cats or dogs of my own, and whilst my family does have cats and other pets of their own, they won't be allowed anywhere near my area of the house (the mother-in-law suite) regardless of whether I got a bird or not. I've been trying my best to learn plenty and will be spending the next several months continuing my research.

    Sadly I don't think there are any adoption centers near me for birds and I've had a really tough time finding some online, so my best option (again, sadly) is our local PetCo or PetSmart. I guess it helps to save them from the bad environments, but from what I've been researching, they get their birds from mills? Idk if that's for all of them or if that's still true, but it's terrible either way. Whilst I hate the idea of supporting mills and those kinds of breeders, if I have to go there to bring one or two home, at least I know they'll be safe and happy... though I'm still heavily on the fence about the entire process there...

    I do plan on keeping them flighted and I'll be training them plenty, including lots of flight training. I plan on thoroughly securing my rooms - maybe a bit Too thoroughly - and maybe someday (once I eventually start earning my own income) turning my bedroom's porch into a safe, screened-in porch where the birds can safely fly about. I also plan on doing lots of DIY and eventually maybe someday making my own perches and tree stands! Any ideas, advice, words of encouragement, or overall input would be appreciated.
