10 Birds that Make for Great Pets

Parakeet

PetSmart notes that Parakeets, also called "budgies," can become cherished family pals, delighting with sweet gestures, tunes, and even learning tricks. Irresistible!

Cockatiel

Cockatiels adore interaction! PetSmart suggests giving them an hour of attention daily. Get a perch for them to socialize outside their cage.

Cockatoo

Cockatoos: Stylish, attention-craving birds. Need love to thrive, or they may get depressed & pluck feathers. Happy with daily affection.

Lovebird

Find your lifelong companion now! Lovebirds form unbreakable bonds with their partners, be it fellow birds or humans. Enjoy their love for bathing with regular water play.

Finch

Looking for a low-maintenance bird? Consider the finch! They're content in their cage, though less interactive. For more engagement, try a parakeet.

Conure

Conures, originally from Central/South America, thrive at home with a spacious cage, pellets, and greens. Note: They live up to 30 years!

Parrotlet

Parrotlets, unlike lovebirds, have distinct traits. They live up to 20 years, enjoy toys, but can be noisy at sunrise/sunset cover their cage!

Dove

Doves as indoor pets? Surprisingly common! They thrive in pairs or flocks, nest at night, and enjoy fruit treats weekly.

Pionus

Ready for lifelong companionship? Pionus parrots, with a lifespan of up to 40 years, are sociable pets perfect for families with kids. Embrace the joy of raising them together!

Meyer's Parrot

Meyer's Parrots: Quiet and sociable, they enjoy attention and play. Though they may nip, they rarely bite. Ideal for families with older kids.
