Hi! I have three kids between the ages of 6 and 10. I have wanted a Grey for years and recently put a deposit down on a baby Timneh. I went to the breeder feeling skeptical, but I really think one picked me out. I felt really attached to her by the time I had to leave. I've even already decided on a name.... and purchased all sorts of supplies. ....She is still with the breeder being weaned.
Now, I am wondering if this is really going to work because at times our household can get rowdy / loud when the kids are playing together. We had a cockatiel for a long time that passed away in 2010. We also have green-cheek conures that are still fairly young... they are bonded to one another. They still let us handle and play with them some.... but they are mostly enamored with one another. I had a budgie when I was growing up that lived quite a while. So, I have some experience with parrots. Really, I want this to work because I've always wanted a parrot that would be very interactive with me. I am just wondering if I am getting myself into something that I can't handle.
Any advice? Can this work or will it be a disaster since my kids are still young? Thanks in advance for any replies!
