    We are getting a RingNeck Parakeet. They are smaller than an African Grey and more quiet. Larger than a Cockatiel.



    They are about 3 weeks old right now. Just waiting to see if one of them is blue.

    @(you need an account to see links)h omg your parrot is soo cute.

    I've wanted one for a long time! I've always raised birds of some kind but never had a parrot. I was told these parakeets are good for getting into them. Though I don't think I'll get another after this one. I'm so excited to watch mine grow and establish his or her own personality.

    And they only live 20-30 years. So we should live with it, its entire life .

    Omg! Your parrot is amazing. I was just inspired by your stories about his antics to read up about them on Wikipedia and they sound so smart. I can only imagine that you have a lot of stories about that bird and your childhood - how cool to grow up with something like that.

    I also adore your cat - that tortie color with the weird straight-down-the-face split!

    How does Raffi get along with your other animals? Is he in charge of the household as far as they are concerned?

    I wanted to let you know in the time since I posted we have now ordered a fenced in area, a chicken coop, and borrowing a brooder box for chicks. Project chicken is a go! I can't wait to have chickens too!

    @(you need an account to see links) we are going to a be a 1 bird inside the house, house hold x)
    We pick him or her up tomorrow morning.
    @(you need an account to see links) maybe ill try to post an updated in the next day or two
    @(you need an account to see links) how exciting. You will definitely need to share some photos!!!
    @(you need an account to see links) chickens produce eggs and are kind of cool in general. They develop their own personalities and eat bugs. Its nice being able to produce your own food and be self sustainable but not every one is about that life style... so to each their own i say.

    Absolutely, to each their own - but it seems the chicken is a 'slave' in this scenario. Eats your bugs and you take their eggs. Can eggs really be considered food though? Its not like you are growing vegetables..
