what do you think?Dunno reptiles used to be but I reckon their more popular than small furries now an once you got the viv,probably cheaper to keep than them.But in past we have had skunks,African Pygmy hedgehogs,skinny pigs(bald guinea pigs) tortoises and parrots from an eclectus to a macaw.
Was the macaw very noisy to keep ? Mrs on at me for one.It was loud but didn't screech often,the eclectus screeched loudly and often. Consider a hand reared grey ,they don't take up so much room and great talkers.
Cheer Had greys and cockatoos they were far too noisy but seriously tame and clever greys
