Your bird is dependant upon you for everything. Therefore, it is very important that you provide all the necessary things that your pet needs for health, vitality and quality of life.

Regularly wash out your birds environment.
Provide clean drinking water every day.

Your bird needs more than just seeds for food. So whilst it is paramount to provide a quality mix of bird food every day, it is essential also each day to vary the diet with a different supplement.
Try these suggestions:-

Salad Cress - Peas - Apple - Celery - Courgette - Sweetcorn - Watercress - Boiled Rice - Parsley Sprig - Grapes - Cucumber - Dandelion Leaves - Broccoli - Broard Beans - Carrott - Finger of bread soaked in water - Mashed Boiled Egg (shell also) - Tomatoes - Lettuce - Cooked Pasta - Radishes (leaves also) -

Millet Spray is an especially loved treat for birds, but it is important not to give this too often as they will refuse to eat their regular seed in favour of it!

It is best not to give Cabbage as this can cause digestive problems.

Other important requirements for your birds health are Cuttlefish Bone, Grit, and Iodine Block. These are necessary for your pets bones and digestive system.

Your bird will occasionally enjoy a dish of tepid water to splash in.

Keep your pet away from draughts and direct sunlight. House plants, chemical cleaners, polish, & hair sprays, etc are highly toxic and dangerous to your bird.

A bird in a cage on its own will need your companionship for the large part of the day, unless you provide many distractions such as toys, mirrors, swings , lots perches and possibly a background sound like a radio. Birds are naturally inquisitive and playful animals and will become listless, distressed, destructive and possibly aggressive if bored and frustrated with their existence.

Your pets wings may have been clipped so flight will be restricted though not prevented and so doors, windows and other potential hazards should be taken into account before letting your bird out of its cage. Allow your pet out of its cage regularly as this exercise will keep them interested in their environment and alert. (Have your birds wings clipped approximately every three months).

To gain a subdued bird let it accompany you in your daily routine. Perching on your shoulder or head your pet will enjoy the variety of the surroundings as you move about freely. You will be able with patience and determination train your bird to talk and perform tricks.

To train your pet to talk you will need to provide close and regular contact, repeating the same phrase consistently. Your bird will be unlikely to talk if it has the companionship of another bird, or if it has too many toys, especially a mirror! However, as mentioned before these accessories are essential to a bird that will be left on its own over long periods of time.

Birds can be taught to mimic tricks you teach by the action of a finger. Reward positive behaviour with a tasty treat..

With a healthy lifestyle in which you take good care of your pet, play with it and make its life interesting, your bird will likely live a long and happy life.

Answer 2

I recommend a cocktail.

Lifespan : 15-20 years (Longer If Taken Good Care Of)

Diet : Commercial pellets, seed, sprouts, veggies

Size : 12 inches

Temperament : Easygoing. Great for first time bird
owners as well as young children. Males are more
vocal than females. Females can be vocal at times
and love to cuddle. They both make excellent pets for the
young, old and working families. Females would
make a better choice for apartments that allow birds.


Talking ability: Very Good

As with all birds, whether your bird talks is up to the bird
as an individual. As with all birds, whether your bird learns
to talk is up to the bird as an individual. Training a bird.

Answer 3

I have kept birds of one kind or another for 40 some years now, and I have had all of these birds on your list.

They are ALL excellent choices for a companion (pet) bird. You will like whichever you choose.

I think the Cockatiel is the most versatile pet! However, the Budgie (parakeet) can get soooo very tame it's actually incredible!

Remember, the more time you spend with them, the more rewarding of an experience you'll have!


Enjoy!

Answer 4

Cockatiels are good to have as pets. When they're young you keep clipping their wings so you can tame them and teach them to talk. It depends what you want the bird for. Is it for just show or to be closer to you as pet. Parakeet too noisy. The others are fine also. Why not just go to the Petshop and go near those types of birds you listed and just pay attention on the vibes you get when you're near each kind. In other words what type of bird makes you feel comfortable when you're near it.

Traits & behavior

Social
Parrots require a large amount of physical attention. They require one hour or more of daily interaction.

Intelligent
Smart and easily trained, these birds should be taught basic commands such as "step up" onto your hand and "step down" when putting them back into their cage. This will ensure easier handling.

Noisy
They can be loud and very noisy, especially at dawn and dusk.

Speaking ability
With practice, you may be able to teach your parrot to say a variety of words.

Messy eaters
Your parrot will drop a lot of food while eating.

Things to remember

Supervision
Don't forget that children, pets and unfamiliar guests should be supervised when interacting with your parrot.

Long-term companions
Before purchasing, be aware that a parrot requires a long-term commitment of approximately 15-20 years or more.

Bonding
Consistent attention from all members of the household is necessary to keep them from bonding with only one person.

Safety & cleanliness
Please remember that all pets may bite or scratch, and may transmit disease to humans. Keep your pet's home clean and wash your hands before and after handling your pet or cleaning his home. Infants, young children, pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and the infirm or elderly are at greater risk of infections and should use caution when in contact with the pet or its habitat. Consult your doctor for more information.

Nutrition

Staple diet
Feed her 2-3 teaspoons per day of a pellet or seed-based, fortified small parrot diet.

Fruits & vegetables*
About 5-10% of a parrot's diet should be bite-sized fruits and veggies like apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, spinach, dandelion, mustard greens and shredded carrots. Offer daily or every 2-3 days.

Supplements
Be sure to provide a cuttle bone or mineral block in your parrot's cage at all times.

Water
Parrots should always have access to clean, fresh water in a bowl.

*Remember that fresh food requires its own dish and should be removed from the habitat within four hours to avoid spoilage.

Habitat

Housing
Your parrot's cage must be large enough for her to comfortably stretch her wings, climb and play with her toys. The bigger the cage, the better. Minimum cage size is 18"W x 22"L x 24"H. The cage should provide a secure area where she feels safe, but she should also be allowed out of the cage for socialization.

Perches
Place two perches at different heights, so that your parrot will be unable to soil her food bowls. Provide perches of differing widths, diameters and textures to help keep her feet healthy.

Cage placement
Place your bird's cage at or below eye level, away from drafts, open windows and the kitchen. Be aware that parrots are sensitive to smoke and strong odors. Cover the cage at night to prevent drafts.

Toys
Give her at least 2-3 toys to keep her busy. But, not too many - she should be able to move about freely without bumping into any in the cage. Rotate toys often to keep her interested.

Baths
Provide a birdbath 2-3 times per week. You can offer a warm water bath or gently mist her with warm water from a clean spray bottle.

Food & water containers
It is important to clean you bird's containers every day, even if the bowl looks full.

Cockatiel all the way..
i have 4 of them and they are fun to play around with.

Answer 10

Cockatails are the most friendly and you can teach them to talk. Parakeets just squak and can't really be tamed.
