Hello!
This post is for people here who had experience with owning a parrot and can give some insight into how different having a rabbit is compared to a parrot.
I ask because I had a parrot and am used to all the physical work as well as training/behavior problems of a parrot. Wondered how a rabbit is similar/different? Things like
-Parrots can be quite bitey/aggressive, especially if they’re not in the mood or full of food
-A bit unforgiving, like if they had a bad experience with something, they now hate it. Like if they fell off someone’s hand, hands are now bad and to be bitten if they’re on it again
-Tend to love one person and not much anyone else
-Not like new people
-Ect, parrot owners know lol
Thus friends tended to be kind of afraid of it and not want to interact with it, which made me a bit sad and is part of why I don’t want a pet that’s too much like all that again.
My parrots required a lot of training to manage all that, but was always something that was only managed and always present to a point. The difficulty of the bird to me was less in the physical work/ daily care (which there was much of) and more these social behaviors.
So how is a rabbit similar/different to these things mentioned? I’m looking for a pet that behaves different than what I mentioned above with the birds, so am wondering how a bunny fits that.
Thanks for reading
