Arent Conure more sex oriented towards their owners. I know some prefer women over men to touch/care for them.

If love to get a African Grey but ehh too loud for me

Thanks for the clear up, ill leave the birds to you lol just not ready nor would the GF want another mess

My girlfriend loves them!!!

I originally got mine ( I say mine, they really belong to both of us) for my husbands birthday a year and a half ago. He loves em, but Im more the one deals with their day to day maintenance.

Haha! Good job...
Its like when a husband buys his wife a bowling ball for xmas, you know he's going to be the one using it...lol

My partner calls my snakes "your colorful worms!" He is tolerant and glad I have this hobby to address the struggle I've had for years with chronic anxiety. He'd rather I fuss over my snakes and lizards and mice and crickets than worry about things that are not worth worrying about endlessly. He cares about whether or not the snakes and lizards have enough room in their habitats and he is especially fond of Alfonzo the bull snake. He totally HATES to hear about who ate what, though. So when one of my new little pyros just shed last night and ate her first live pink today since coming to her new home, I have to bite my tongue!

At one time I had a big colony of budgerigars and he liked those. We also have several cats and have rescued most all of them from abandonment and such. Neither one of us cares much for dogs, as they are too demanding socially, always in your face for attention.

Im glad they help you out! and they he supports it too.
You can always come here and tell us about first sheds and who ate who...lol

lol, well, my fiance thinks that i am a total nut job, but most psyc's do, so there is nothing new there!

He says that he thinks of my cresties kind of how he thinks of fish "a decoration", but i have caught him lurking in the reptile room when he thinks i'm not paying any attention. Over all he is pretty tolerant, I don't think he knew exactly how extreme i could be when i got my first one. He told me that he thought i was trying to save her because i had just lost my cat, which was true, i just couldn't stand the thought of her dying and no one caring or even trying to help her out. but he sort of supports/enables my addiction!

He got me one for our first V-day together, takes me to the NARBC every year, lol even helps me pick one out every year after saying "now, we probably shouldn't get one this year..." then he goes "wow! look at that one!" lol, and i get another one. But I do all the cleaning, spending, feeding, and maintaining.

My friends and co-workers think that i am absolutely certifiable, but i have managed to turn some of them to the dark side, now three of them have some of my babies...

BUT he won't let me branch out, that is where he draws the line. I can breed all i want, because then i am making some money (little does he know that it really all just goes back into them, lol and i am pretty sure if he realized that he would tell me to stop!) But i have been trying to convince him to let me get a snake for years, he won't have it, and he won't admit it, but i think he might be a little scared of them... LMAO, and i know for certian that he is completely creeped out by the other lizards i want. Terrified of the Giant Leaf Tailed Geckos... lol "they just look evil!!!"

Well my boyfriend, is supportive he can take or leave the snakes especially around feed time his favorites are my '09 purple phase guyana my '09 moonglow albino RTB my '09 coral albino RTB but he's really into the lizards like he's addicted to my crested geckos he's named most of them. He likes watching the chameleon eat etc. He's been super supportive of me starting the rescue even if it means grumpy giant snakes or sick giant lizards. At first he was well about to pee himself around my tarantulas but now he can sleep soundly in a room with 19 of them and not flinch he's even touched one i was handling once granted he hid behind me like a scaredy cat but i didn't pick on him....much.

For me his level of acceptance is something i've always looked for i still don't have many friends and people around me who truly understand whats important to me animals are a passion of mine reptiles and inverts especially (and horses but thats a whole other story) i like the idea of having someone who shares in my passion and hey eventually when we get our own place he's gonna let me get some breeding pairs of tortoises (my mom hates tortoises/turtles) so at least he's accommodating to my brand of crazy
