Answer 2

Well it depends on your area, conures like quakers In Michigan you can pick up for about 175 as hand fed baby's, I know i breed them.

But please look into any type of bird you buy for their needs and cage sizes needed..Birds have many special needs and an all seed diet is not a good thing for a Bird they eat allot of varied foods even chicken.

Quakers also have great talking ability's mine talk all the time lol.. but some states don't allow them so check to make sure your state does.

thier are many types of conures you might look up a local bird club in your area too  and im sure someone woul dbe more then helpfull to help you find the right one for your home

Answer 4

Parakeets or budgies, as they are often called are very smart.  They can learn lots of tricks and the males can sometimes talk.  Most are around $15.00-20.00 so they're very inexpensive.  They are low maintenance too.  I have 3 parakeets and I love them all.  They're so cute!

Answer 5

Parrotlets are really good.

Also Conures make good pets too.

Answer 10

Assuming you don't want a budgie, then a parrotlet is about the same size as a budgie, easily tamed, talks, and is very smart.  They are actually a small parrot.  They come in a variety of colors and are readily available in your budget range.
