Conure or Cockatiel Which bird for a novice birdowner2007-11-24 17:19:10Answers:

I had a cocktail, he was so easy to train, easy to handle. You just have to put the time in. Don't expect him to start talking or singing if you don't have the time. This is true for any animal. If you can afford to, i would recommend getting a hand raised one, they seem to be much easier to handle. Especially for the novice.

cockatiel.. conures are great birds but you have to know what your doing

Cockatiel. Conures are rather more demanding, not to mention have the ability to be more destructive if they're not happy.

Both are good, put the cockatiel is a much heartier bird. For a first time owner, I would pick that one. Plus, just incase he gets out the door, your out less money.

a Cocketiel. they're great indoor pets and they dont bite you. they love to crawl up your arms and stuff. make sure their wings are always cut or else they will fly all over the place.

I absolutely love my Nanday Conure. There are so many beautiful conures that are so sweet. The conures also can learn to talk. If you are wanting a bird, I highly recommend conures. I also would suggest that you try to find a male bird, no matter what species you find. They tend to talk better, and are a lot more friendly then the hens (females) are.

Before getting your bird, please, do lots of research and make sure you have a cage that is the correct size for whatever bird you fall in love with. Most birds enjoy having something to do, so toys are really helpful. I know that the bird toys can get really expensive in pet stores, so I have been known to go to the dollar stores and get baby toys that can be suspended from the top of the cage for the birds to play with. They also like to play with the waffle balls. My conure will roll the ball all over the bottom of the cage, lay on his back and throw it in the air. Lots of fun to watch.
