anything about parakeets or lovebirds

Parakeets (aka budgies) are a very easy going species of bird. They're hyper, love to play and although they chatter all day, they won't annoy your neighbors. They're not the type of bird that loves to be touched and they're not the cuddliest of creatures. They will, however, hang around you, sit on your shoulder and nibble your cheeks, preen your hair - they Love your company even if they're not hand tame! The best budgies to get are hand fed, but breeders that hand fed their babies are very hard to find. Budgies can plant a good bite when mad, but it's not super bad. It's like getting pinched and most budgies don't bite that hard. They're said to be easy to tame but I've never had the patience. Despite their size they can be very destructive. I've heard of a cage of two budgies literally stripping the wallpaper off a kitchen wall while their owners were gone for the day! I lost a bulletin board to one of my hens who is aptly named buzzsaw ^.^ .

Lovebirds are completely different! They're one of the most aggressive parrots available and you have to handle them every day to keep them sweet. They love to be cuddled though and will dive into your shirt while you're at the computer or watching TV. They're well known for their need to shred. Nothing made of paper is safe. I've heard many stories of people reading a newspaper and magazine, only to turn a page and see their lovebird tearing strips out of the back of the book and stuffing it into their rump feathers. They have lots of attitude and will share it with you whether you want it or not. Their voice is high and shrill though many people don't find it that bad.
