Hello everyone. New to the forum but not aviculture and parrots.  Whilst working overseas I used to help rear and socialise parrots on behalf of others and owned a Moluccan Cockatoo for quite a while.  Then in Germany I owned two Orange Wings (one spoke Dutch!!!).  I never wanted to stress the birds by moving them around the globe so found very good homes for them.  Last time I owned a parrot was in 1997.  Now I am settled in one location for the rest of my life so to speak.  I have been looking at parrots again and could, of course, simply buy a handreared one but my previous work socialising parrots has stuck; basically I would like to give a parrot a chance at having a good and fullfilling environment so plan to foster.  I am experienced I suppose but not an expert and can only draw from my experiences and what I have read.  I have been visiting birds at breeders recently and a large Parrot Sanctuary near to Leicester which was extremely enjoyable.  I have applied to foster a particular bird and, as requested, will now be a good person and be patient. Thank you for reading this.  Regards, Richard
