Need bird advice. asap?

Question

Ok. I just posted a question about bunny's or guinea pigs. Now my friend and i have decided on a bird (bunny's and guinea pigs seem gross). I have a baby sister at home and need to convince my parents. My friend needs to convince her dad. Which breed would you reccomend? We would like one that can talk. Oh,as you can probably tell, we want to share the bird.

Please help us. We need all the help we can get. And any websites that would be useful could help too! Thanks

Answer 1

Birds can be gross too.  They p**p a lot and sometimes on you if you're handling them a lot.  They also tend to be loud, which might not be very good in an environment with a baby.

And no matter what breed you get, there's no guarantee that the bird will talk, and it's not something you should expect.  A lot of people adopt a bird thinking it will talk and when it doesn't, they just get rid of it.

It would be really stressful for the bird to go back and forth between two houses too, if that's what you're planning.  They like to know their surrounding and having an unstable environment wouldn't be good for them.

I would try thinking of a different kind of pet that's more low-maintenance and can adapt to new places better.

Answer 2

I have 6 different types of bird and if you want a bird that talks plays and is a sweet little clown I would say get a baby Quaker parrot. the one I have has stole the hearts of everyone he meets. But please keep in mind whatever bird you choose it usually is a long commitment it requires a lot of research on your part to make sure all it's needs are met. there are too many people who think birds are just something to leave in a cage and it will be fine. they are like babies that never grow up.

Answer 3
