which parrot type is the best known pet bird2007-11-24 17:26:55Answers:

African Grey Parrot

I like Pionus - they're small and affectionate.

The African Grey for sure and the Conure as well. If you want to go larger then it's the Macaw.

I have a Quaker, he is small, very messy and talks all, the time.( one of his favorites is "what's your problem?") He is great company because he likes to ask and answer questions. So my vote would be for a Quaker.

Cockatiel and the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (in Australia)

Well it depends. Do you want it to talk a lot because African Greys are the best at that. Cunjurs are cool to but dont talk as much . Aslo for a big bird that lives long and is beautiful you should go with a macaw or scarlet

i would say a quaker

Before anything . you need to ask yourself if your ready to have a pet that might possibly out live you. That needs constant attention and companionship. Bird birds bond with their owners and are prone to depression, psychosis, sickness and death if neglected. On the other hand . if your commited to the bird you will get everlasting affection, amusement, loyalty and of course the bigger the bird . the bigger the mess.

I say the above as too many people get interested in exotics and are then put off by the amount of care , attention and expense that goes with them. Don't forget to include your signifigant other if one is around when making the choice. Baby birds need to be socialized to all those around them and more too get comfortable around people. Its not unual for birds to bond to only one owner and get highly jealous and act out when their owners are getting attention from others. ( just something to think about :) )
