I want to get my girlfriend a bird for her birthday?

Question

I don't know much about birds. I want to get her something very colorful. Not particularly many colors, although that wouldn't be bad, but something bright and full of color. I also want something that doesn't chirp so much/loud that you want to rip it's head off but also has a pleasant sound to it. What do you suggest?

Answer 1

Not a good idea. If you get her a bird, you BETTER make sure she takes care of it. Giving animals as presents are a bad idea. Why not get her a colorful toy instead.

Answer 2

PARAKEETS WORK.  SMALL, NOT TOO MUCH TO CLEAN OVER.  EATS LITTLE, DRINKS LITTLE.  DONT MAKE SO MUCH NOISE IF YOU COVER CAGE UP, BUT WIH SPACE FOR AIR OR IT CANT BREATHE AND DIES ON YA.

PARAKEETS COMES IN MANY COLORS, RANGING IN PRICES FROM 10-15 DOLLARS.  THE YOUNGEST ONES ARE SOLD AT SWAP MEETS(FLEA MARKETS).

***BUT IF YOUR GIRL HAS BIRD ALLERGIES DONT BUY HER 1 ARE SHE'LL GET SICK AND DUMP YOU.  BAD IDEA.   BUY HER A CANDY BIRD SO SHE CAN EAT IT.

Answer 3

Cockatiels are a good choice.  Alot of people hand feed cockatiels, so they are very tame.  They can also learn to talk if worked with enough.

They are very friendly birds and really take up to their primary owner.

Answer 4

love birds;Lovebirds look like miniature parrots.  They come in a variety of species and colour mutations, and are cheeky, active birds.  One prevalent misconception about Lovebirds is that they should be kept in pairs.  Lovebirds are no different than other Parrot family members, in that they will bond to each other and to some extent become wilder if there are two, but one will make a tamer pet.

Answer 5

No. NEVER buy a bird as a gift for someone UNLESS they have specifically ASKED for one. Birds aren't objects to be given as gifts.

If you want something that makes a pleasant sound, buy her a music box.

Answer 6

A parakeet?
