My limit is medium. I am going to do some research on Pionus. You seem to really have interest in them.

Now I'm just letting you know, the pionus family are not necessarily "pretty birds" compared to some others, but I only care about personality.

My limit is extra large. I handle macaws and cockatoos often, but not Amazons.

Teenage Bird Confessional: I'm scared of Amazons.

I put Large, even though my super-dream bird is gigantic

Oh yes, and black palms. Scared of those too. Barbara, did you know that their beak is so huge, they can't close it completely? Now THAT'S intimidating.

Yes but...





One word: Magical.

I put extra large for question #2. I'm comfortable with the physical handling, it's the noise level and psychological needs of the big birds that I don't think I could handle.

I said it was very important to have a cuddly bird, and they said a canary or finch was the best bird for me. Go figure.

I love how the members of this forum go from one thing to another.

Barbara, relating back to Enzo (that's what I would call him), he does indeed have vibrant puffy pants.
