Get a sun conure or an african grey..or a parakeet if those are too rich for your blood. Lovebirds are also nice to have and relatively inexpensive

Cockatiels (the 2nd pic) can be very mean and macaws and other tropical birds of that nature are not good to own if its your first bird.


Birds make for great pets if you train them well, they're very smart

My parents have an African Grey. Ol' boy is a blast. Sings whenever he sees someone he recognises and says "Byyyyyyyyyye" whenever someone walks out the door.

shyt's especially hilarious when, say, my parents have a heated debate and one of them (more often that not, my mother) storms out of the room.

You hear the door slam shut and then "Byyyyyyyyyye" :laugh:

:umad:

They're exotic, luxurious animals. If you have a parrot it lets people know you're doing things. I would probably give away all my parrots if the price dropped to $200.

I had to google this cause I never heard of these species. Those thangs can live up to 20-40 years on a healthy diet :usure: How much did it cost you? I've got two parakeets but I've been thinking about upgrading to a conure
