Me and my wife are considering adopting some parrots in the not so far future. My wife has never had birds as pets, but we visited a breeder/rescuer of exotic birds (the photo I'm sharing is with one of their birds that was all too happy to be on my shoulder) and she fell in love with their macaws. I've had some parakeets in the past (a long time ago) and always loved the idea of having a parrot, specifically an African grey, but never had the chance to give them a good place until now. So we are in the planning phase and how would we balance having both breeds.
If I'm understanding correctly greys and macaws can have some issues as the dust the greys create with their skin can affect somewhat the macaws so at the very least they'd need different cages. What are people's experiences about this kind of cohabitation between different breeds?
I'd also want to ask if there's any content creator that shares videos or info about their parrots and life with them that any of you enjoy, or maybe some of you. Unfortunately this Lemmy channel seems a bit lacking in interaction and content, so I'm creating this post with the hope it gives people a reason to post more and create some conversation. I do not have accounts in other social media so it is hard for me to go around searching for content, so if those content creators are somewhere that needs no accounts all the better.
Since you have experience DMing games for different ages than yours (or I expect that's the case since you talk of birthdays and after school programs), what would be your advice to lead a game with kids that you think it's different from just a bunch of friends playing specially if they are old enough that no theme is out of bounds.
Like I mention in some other comment, I want to start a game and DM both my kids and my wife using the Adventure Time RPG books based on 5E. My biggest issue is that both kids are quite far apart in age, 4 and 8 and I'm inexperienced being a DM so handling both and making the game fun for all feels like a daunting experience. So as an extra question, have you ever been the DM of a game where players had meaningful difference in age?
