My DP has always wanted a ****y, instead I thought I might surprise him with a Baby ****atiel for his birthday in Feb. We have a great pergola/backyard area, and I thought I could get an outdoor aviary for him/her..or maybe two if they are not tooo pricey..
Does anyone have a ****atiel? Are they noisy, hard to look after ?
I would also welcome suggestions for another type of bird to buy him.
You should buy two, and hand raised are best. BUT will he be prepared keep handling them on a regular basis? It's really important to keep the hand raised part going, and birds can be such a great addition to the home.
We have a sensational Indian Ringneck Parrot and we just adore him.
Have you been to a shop to check some birds out? OMG I did last week and even though I don't want anymore pets I nearly came home with half the shop!
Thanks girls for your reply's, DP would be great handling the bird, I am getting it for him to spend time with, as he loves the back yard, his well laid out shed in Footy Season, so the ****atiel's first wirds will be "go the bombers " I am sure if it ..
Ooh I'm not sure actually. Our bird was hand raised by Dp, we had another given to us as a baby but it was just before Mitch was born so it didn't get enough attention when it needed, and it was always a little nutty.
I think my Bubba was lonely by himself though so that's why I'd say to give it a friend. Maybe it would be better to give him one and then decide if he wants to add to the cage?
Bubba had an awful lot of attention before the babies were born and he was such a huge part of the family. He used to fly around the house and try and impress the ladies by sitting on their shoulders and whispering in their ears, he loved to share a cup of tea and if you weren't careful he would fly to the edge of your plate and help himself to your spagetti! Oh and he used to wolf-whistle at me every morning .
