Info on parrot breeds?

Question

I'm looking for a site with some information and pictures of different kinds of parrots. I want to get one but don't know what kind yet. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Parrots can make wonderful pets with the right care! Senegals and pionus are the quietest of the parrots, but still (like ALL parrots) require a LOT of time with you. Parrots are very social, and when tame make wonderful pets!

I suggest a quaker parrot. They live 20-30 years, and are wonderful personalities. They are extremely social, though. 3-4 hours of out-of-the-cage time everyday at least! 10-12 hours of sleep (covered cage) every night.
