What is the smalllest pet bird species?

Question

(Wether it talks or not)and how big of a cage does it need (photo links of bird and cage appreciated GREATLY)?

And how much will the bird cost (around.....)?

Answer 1

the smallest is a finch, but u cant hold em so their not much fun. so i would suggest a budgie.

Answer 2

Smallest I know is a Finch. I find some pics.
The picture of a Zebra finch. I like hearing the sounds they make. I do show a Parakeet, they fun and very friendly once they get used to you and the males can learn to talk. Cages are about any size you want. Pet shop can help. I not sure of price, I think the last I looked finches were about $10 and parakeets $20. The cages are what cost. May find a cage in the Classifieds for your are, look under pets/birds.

Parakeets are more fun and have more color variety;

the last person said a budgie is a good pet, and that its the smallest, GOOD NIGHT! Does no one know about parrotlets! you need a big cage and the cage could cost around fifty dollars (check ebay) but the birds vary from state to state or country to country from withing 100$-300$ don't have any pictures but if you google imaged the word parrotlet you'd get good pictures of pacific greens! hope this helps and they CAN talk
