Thank you. Glad I read your comment before watching the video. Also they recommended macaws!? I've never had a bird and I know they require lots of attention.

As soon as it said macaw is a beginner bird i immediately disregarded this entire video

COCKATOOS, MACAWS, AND AFRICAN GREYS ARE NOT BEGINNER BIRDS. These parrots are most commonly left in adoption centers because people will buy them and not realize how difficult they can be to take care of. All of these 3 parrots also have the ability to live up to 60 years!!! Cockatoos can be extremely loud and obnoxious to be around. If you are willing to deal with a very long time commitment and noisy birds, then feel free if you have the ability to!

I can confirm all of the above, I volunteer at a sanctuary for abused or discarded birds. Cockatoos, Grey's then macaws in that order by most surrendered. Absolutely irresponsible to promote these animals as good pets.

There's no such thing as a beginner bird because information is so accessible through the internet any bird your willing to care for is a beginner bird

everything in the vid was good until the macaw and the grey part....they are not easy to look after and should only be handled by experienced keepers.

The bird I recommend for beginners which are low maintenance and playful are ones like budgies, cockatiels, emus, cassowaries, Galapagos albatross, those simple ones

Aww cassowaries are just the sweetest 😍😍

African greys and macaws are absolutely NOT beginner birds. In fact very few birds should be considered "beginner". Owning a bird is really unlike owning any other pet, they require a very different level of interaction, care, and patience. At the same time bonding with them and forming a great relationship is extremely rewarding and why so many bird owners never stop talking about their bird haha. If you are beginner, stick with a parakeet (budgie), cockatiel, green cheek conure, or lovebird. But please know what you are signing up for! They will be loud and so many birds get rehomed because of this.

Do you have any Suggestions in resources for learning much more about raising birds as pets specifically “starter” birds like the ones you recommend. There is so much info and a lot contradictory so having a hard time choosing a book or blog er. I am somebody who has never owned a bird and a knows relatively nothing about it, but would like to? I’ve always wanted a bird since I was a kid but knew I wasn’t ready. I am not late 30’s so I’m pretty sure this is as good as I get lol I want to make sure I am very well informed though as I would never want to just try it out rehome or hurt an animal. Thank you so much!

@lysascott flying fids, fives a flock with coro, and bird tricks are all GREAT youtube channels to find information. Flying fids really teaches you a lot of important things like weaning parrots onto a pellet and vegetable diet, how to gain trust with your bird, understanding their body language, etc. Fives a flock with coro gives some really good suggestions on beginner birds you may not have initially considered like a Bronze winged pionus and other types of parrots. And then bird tricks has great information on basically everything. She is a trained professional and really dives deep in how to positively reinforce good behavior which can be especially important when your bird is going through its "teen phase" lol. All great places to start. If there's a specific topic you need to know about just type it in the search bar with one of those channel names in their and you should be able to find what you are looking for. I hope this helps and if you have any others questions I would love to help as well! ☺️

Thanks for saving me the misinformation. This video is terrible. Coming from keeping boa constrictors it was obvious to me this video was trash by the fourth bird. The narrator literally uses the same description for every bird in the video.

06:20 Gotta love the moment he says "native to South America" by showing a flag of USA.

Or when he recommends a macaw, the largest parrot species, and a cockatoo, the most demanding and destructive birds for a beginner.

No credibility to this video. Mixing up vision of lovebirds with budgies, then lorikeets with lovebirds...... goodbye. And the photo of the peachface lovebirds at 2:18 shows signs of foot deformity - a worrying sign these birds have been raised in a very unhealthy and unnatural environment with lack of suitable perches and space. I would avoid any contact with this company. And by the way, Eclectus parrots are also native to northern Australia (not just Solomon Islands and New Guinea) Serious fact-checking needed here.

There 's no beginner birds, just do many research and choose the one that suits you!

nah please you guys dont buy cockatoo or macaw or african gray as your first bird just buy cockatiel or parakeet 'cause they are really easy to raise cheap and you can get familiar with parrots behavior before buying bigger birds (im not saying that small ones arent hard to raise)

Budgies are the cheapest, 10 to 35 dollars, but cockatiels are the most cheap, 100 to 200 dollars

A cockatoo is not a beginner bird as well as Makaw or African grey.

I have 2 Quakers. My 1st Quaker was 2 when I adopted him. He has phases when he bites. Sometimes when hormonal, but mostly when I touch anything he found and then it is his. He is a smart, snuggly, talking bird most of the time. My 2nd Quaker is only 6 months, I had him 2 months. He steps up and is a relaxed bird and likes to snuggle on my knock. I had an Panama Amazon decades ago and also was a wonderful bird.

Beginner birds are birds that you first get to help you slowly graduate to harder ones by getting you used to bird care slowly !There's been alot of misunderstanding

Conures are not quiet at all and most of these birds are definitely not for beginners. A macaw or cockatoo is the last bird i would recommend for a beginner. This will end up in more birds for adoption based on false information. Birds are a BIG responsibility, and if you are willing, an amazing addition to the family.

Great Video

Using the Minecraft bone breaking sound effect for the card pop-ups is so fucking funny

How can you recommend a cockatoo as a good bird for beginners downright irresponsible

What about a duck or chicken? Doves and pigeons make easy and great pets BTW.

Glad u put the quaker on they are one of the best talkers about. I had 3 pairs for year's now I have an 18 month old talking one called tico he says over 150 words.

I have a Quaker and he is an excellent talker. Agreed.

There's a picture of a plucked Indian ring neck parakeet in the middle of your discussion of quaker parakeets. Quaker parakeets are not legal to have in many states.

The second bird is a budgie. There are more than 30 varieties of Parakeets!

I’m sorry to say as a conure owner they are not quiet and neighbors always complain

My favorite parrot is Hychinth macaw and black palm cacatoo

African grace need a lot of toys to help stimulate them intellectually. Some may make sounds but never learn speech.

I have a Quaker and she hates everyone but me. She bite and screams the whole time I’m out of the room. I love her but she’s a pain in the butt!

So I bought a bird for I thought a good pet store but it didn’t come with a band is that bad?

I like the sun conure but I heard it is very hard to take care of them and they are high maintenance.

I think cockatiel should be up there

Why would ever recommend huge birds?

Why did you show peach face love birds in the middle of the budgie presentation? Also budgies are one of the ten best talking birds.

Conures are not quiet. They can be almost as noisy as a macaw.

Birds are intelligent not smart (hot take)

Macaws are loud and they can bite hard.

Conure costs 300$ in my city.

Again you show a rainbow lory in the middle of your discussion of lovebirds.

Sorry but some of these birds are anything but beginners birds

Great video thank you so much

a macaw is a great bird for experianced bird owners but for BEGINGERS no

Research more

Conures are loud as hell, especially sun conures that are shown. Finchs are terrible pets, you cant play with them and if you can its rare as hell Macaw is a horrible choice for a first bird, one of the most demanding birds to own because of food and housing plus toys Cockatoo is basically the same as a macaw just the australian version in terms of care. African grey is probably the worst bird to start with, being that its the smartest parrot in the world, needs constant attention, can learn to open cage and has demanding food requirements this is a horrible first choice Eclectus parrot is probably the easiest of all these larger parrots. I own a male eclectus (also have a conure and moustache parrot) eclectus should be on a 90% fruit diet, avoid seeds, needs a large cage but is genuinely a really friends easy going bird. The females can get aggressive though because they mate year round. Quaker parrots in my experience have all been a pain and super bitey. Summary: the three best beginning options are budgie, cockatiel and love bird aka peach face. All birds should have a mix of fruit and veg for most meals with seed as maybe every 4th meal, i feed my boys twice a day.

Why the bone cracking noise

I’ve never owned birds before besides chickens and even I know this list is whack. Not taking advice from someone who don’t even know the difference between cockatoos and cockatiels.
