What is the best talking bird??

Question

I'm looking into getting a parrot or something. I want to teach it how to say a few words...but i don't want it to be agressive, as i will probably hold it. So what do you think would be the best breed of bird??

Answer 1

african grey

Answer 2

Most likely an African Grey but you most definitely cannot base your decision on getting a parrot on weither it talks or not. At some point in its life it will be aggressive and you will get bitten! Check out http://www.tailfeathersnetwork.com/ which is an awesome bird forum I am a part of.

African greys are around the $500-$1000

Cockatiels are $60-$70

Answer 4

Cockatiels can learn to say words and phrases if taught to, and they're pretty tame and adorable.

Budgies are also experts at talking, and they're really tame too.  Budgies aren't aggressive (most of the time), and are really easy to handle. Cockatiels can be shy at first, but with a little patience they can turn into really good pets.

Usually male budgies are the ones most likely to talk. And I've heard that females can get a little aggressive,
