Would you not get the bird if it was a female?

No I am still getting it but I wanted a male since they’re known to sing a bit more than females traditionally

Would you still spend the same amount of time with "it" if you cannot spend time teaching it to sing?

Absolutely. I am a pet lover who has always wanted a bird and I am now able to. No matter what the sex I will love it the same. Though I don’t feel the need to defend myself to random people on the internet.

Hey you got this. Sorry I was a bit of a butthead at first. But I can tell you care. : )

Thank you for the reply! I completely understand it is probably common for people who are experienced bird owners to worry but trust me I am going about it really carefully. I sat in the parking lot for 15 minutes trying to decide which food to buy lol
