Parrots....

Well, good luck with that.
Just kidding.
I love birds. I've had them all my life, however, never a parrot.
First of all they are very big and messy and they really live a long time. You have to be in it for the long haul.
I know people that have parrots and I hate to say it, but they are kind of "clickey" about it.
Perhaps even lame.
Again, kidding, but I worked with a guy that called his parrot his son.
Okay, we all love our pets, but this guy would have to take time off of work if he didn't think the bird felt well and get this.....
He shared actual court custody papers and paid "child" support for his bird.
I'm not kidding about that part.
He was a pretty strange character in the first place and hey, we all love our pets.
Some people don't understand that you really can get attached to a bird. I have. I wouldn't pay child support for one, but.....
Contact a local veterinarian in your area that specializes in birds. I was so lucky to find a specialist. My bird got sick and they treated my bird so well.
A local vet might know of someone who shares your love of birds and can give you tips or talk about your stories.
Someone who gets regular vet care for their bird is a pretty serious bird owner and they might be a good resource.

Best wishes.

I have used allexperts.com before with questions about my goats, dogs, and fish. go check it out and see if you like it!

we had an african grey for years, there is a group called the long island parrot society, lips,,,, liparrotsociety.org i dont know anything about them or how they run now, but they were really active back then

My mom has an african gray and an amazon. She's a bird fanatic! Did you have specific questions on birds? If so Yahoo Answers has a birds/animals section. Maybe google search for "bird bulletin boards" or "bird groups". Yahoo also has tons of groups I'm sure they have bird groups if you are just looking to schmooze with other bird lovers.

Good luck!

Have you looked up the vets in your area? Some vets take care of birds, and if you need information or help you'll actually have a real live person to talk to. A vet might know a good online resource for you as well.
