Best Pet Birds For Kids
What is the right bird for me? Please help ASAP! Thanks!?
I live in a fairly large townhouse, in a gated community. I have a good amount of time, not too much though. I want a not-real loud bird, and I REALLY want a companion. No loud noisy kids, no other pets. I want a sweet, affectionate bird that I can spend time with and play with, and is not too huge or aggressive. Don’t really care about talking. Could YOU please help me? I need the advice, and I will choose a Best Answer. Thanks =).
It sounds as if you are ready to buy your first bird. For anyone unfamiliar with birds , I would suggest reading and learning about a Parakeet. If you get one young, right out of weening from it’s mother, you can train him easily to sit on your finger and do simple commands. They’re not too noisy, they’re small and entertain themselves when alone. They can eat much of what you eat in addition to their seed. However, stay away from chocolate and avocados which are toxic to birds.
I would not advise you to get a parrot of any kind. Parrots require special care, a varied diet, a lot of attention and can even be aggresive if the mood strikes them. There are exceptions to the rule, some parrots are extremely friendly especially when hand-fed by a human. However, they don’t like to be left alone and can be very noisy when you aren’t home. If you don’t have the time, don’t buy a parrot. Parakeets are the way to go for first-time bird owners.
