6. Nothing a keet likes better than starting stuff.

Their motto: No disaster without an opportunity. Downside, they seldom die of old age.

13. Wow

Hi Sarge,
Wow, you have five? I'm afraid if I got one my cat would have it dead within 1 minute. These cats must all be declawed. I was doing some research and it said a cat scratch to a bird is very very dangerous. Do you have a cat or cats? I soooooooooo want a bird, I would start out with a parekeet though I think.

Peace

14. Two keets, two cockatiels and a blue&gold macaw.

No cats or dogs. Neither of us are cat people and a dog would freak out the four year olds. You can have a cat and bird together, but one of them has to be in the slam when the other is out. Now it's not that uncommon for a cat and a parrot to be buddies, but I wouldn't take the risk, especially with a smaller bird. That maniacal keet in that video is living on borrowed time.

Keets are a good starter bird. If you looking for a pal, I'd recommend a hand raised one. They're hand fed by a person, starting when they're chicks, and they bond to people. A hand raised keet tends to be less suicidal. If you're not interested in having a keet permanently attached to you, get two hens and a large cage. Parrots are very social and active. They need companionship and activity. One keet permanently locked up in a small cage is a sad sight.

If you have any questions, please PM me.

Thanks to a friend who slept in our guest room for 3 months.
I'm just lucky she doesn't cuss a blue streak now. [img][/img]
