So I have always been scared of birds because ...
1. My neighbors cockatoo bite me when I was about 8.
2. An owl chased me once when I was admiring it on the side of the road.
3. Plus the geese that live next door hiss at me when I walk by.
ANYWAYS.
I was at a pet show this weekend and a yellow headed amazon flew onto my shoulder (I was terrified by the way, but also nicely surprised). He was climbing on my arm/shoulder and pulling on my sweater - he did nip me a few times but this is where I was like well... That wasn't too bad. I've honestly had a huge change of heart - I even went to the pet store the next day just to meet some other birds (in case it was just that bird I liked LOL) and I feel in love with each green cheek conure they had there, all four of them were such funny and cute characters.
So now I am researching this funny little guys and they seem awesome so I am debating getting one. I love, love, love the pineapple conures. I also LOVE the sun conures - but I live in an apartment so that won't be happening LOL.
Anyone have any conures? I know at least one of you do (in the list your pets thread).
