My son has been wanting to get a parrot for a while now and as I am at home 80% of the day I said ok. I have never had a parrot before and have been doing lots of research with my son and we have found the bird we both want. I like parrots too.

Anyway, as neither of us have had a bird before I was wondering about maybe getting a smaller bird to start with like a budgie or something like that. We have chickens but they are alot different to having birds in the home. Do people think this would be a good idea??

Also, what do people think about having the small bird in my son's bedroom?? Is this a good or bad idea??

any advice would be great
thanks xx
