Ok, we have been looking for ages and finally found a Pineapple Conure which isn't a million miles and has been hand reared and should fit in with our family which is my wife Sarah and me Andy and our 2 kids aged 7 and 5. Plus rabbits, cats, guinea pigs, chickens and a hamster. We've looked at all sorts and decided for the conure as they are smaller, a little bit quieter and can bond with the whole family rather than just one of us, we liked a Senegal Parrot but we weren't happy that they may just bond with one person and then get stressed by the kids etc.
So we are going off to see him on Friday and going to put a deposit down to bring him a home a week on Saturday. So we've been reading lots of books etc and getting everything ready for him.
What we are looking for is some advise on the cage, we know he will need to be out of his cage so he is sociable etc. I just wondered though what sort of cage would people recommend and size should we get? Until now we've never got a cage as we saw no point in buying one until we'd found a parrot so we didn't have to buy a different cage if we got a different parrot etc.
