i want to get a bird or pair of birds, but i don't know what kind are good birds to have around. i also have cats, but they aren't allowed in my room, so they may or may not be a problem. does the climate where i live matter?

Answers:

A good bird for 'you'. sounds like it would be a parakeet. If you have cats, and the birds would be spending most of their time, in your room.. a pair of keets would do fine. Keep in mind, that you 'do' have to let them out of the cage, and work with them, so they can get to know you, and their surroundings.. that's very important for them, and their health. If you are thinking of just one. a 'pair' is better.so 'one' doesn't get lonley. If you "have" to get just one.. get it a mirror, so it can 'talk' and 'socialize' with the "bird in the mirror". Make sure wherever you place them in the room, isn't drafty or cold. this can kill a bird, if they catch a draft.

Do some research on-line. Go to a pet shop that specializes in birds. See what is out there. Read some bird magazines. Go to a bird mart or fair. There are lots of breeders and pet owners out there that love to talk about their birds.

Since you have cats you might not want to get birds. Why setup your cats to be bad and your new bird to be killed?
