I am an established bird owner. When I was born there was literally like, hundreds of birds we owned here lol throughout the years that has dwindled...
I personally have owned quails, roosters, ducks, canary, alexandrine parrot, cockatiels, budgies and I pretty much consider the ringnecks here mine too.
Everything died many years ago except one cockatiel and my alexandrine parrot. She is a wonderful bird and I love her except she's moody and mean a lot. But she's pretty good. I can snuggle into her head, put my nose on her beak, etc. She knows not to hurt me but she will snap if I do something that annoys her (she doesn't like aggressively attack me unless she's in an awful mood and I leave her alone). She is a unique but great bird. The ringneck is SO jealous of her though (ringneck refuses to go on me no matter what) and it's p amusing.
I once dreamed I was a crow... like I could transform into a crow like how Pokemon use roll out but when I did that I turned into a crow. It was so incredible. I wish I was a crow. :( It was only like six months ago but it was easily one of my favourite dreams ever because crows are SO cool.
I support the afl team, the crows.
I know most people are cat people or dog people but I'm legit a bird person. I don't like cats and love dogs but my passion is birds. :)
