I have 2 cockatiels and a pineapple green check Conure.

My “starter” parrot was actually a scarlet macaw, I was struggling so bad and I felt horrible because I felt as if I let the bird down. But I ended up devoting a lot more time into studying and learning body language and after a year of owning her I got her to be calm with me and step up. I now own a scarlet macaw and a hahns macaw

Have owned a few lovebirds, especially liked my blue masked lovebird. great birds.

I had a cockatiel and it was pretty much like having a tiny flying cat. Mine was very cuddly, but also very temperamental, if you didn't cuddle him exactly how he wanted he would let you know. Never bit me though only pecking with its beak while making noises and when i then stopped cuddle it took about half a second and he was asking for more cuddle. He talked a whole lot and he loved walking inside empty potato chip bags and he could sit inside there making all kinds of silly noises for half an hour, i think it was the reflective surface inside as he was pretty obsessed with mirrors. And he loved to drop things on the floor, just for me to pick it back up so he could throw it back down again and he never got tired of it. When i had visitors he would always land on the head of the ones who where a bit scared of him, it seemed like he knew it and liked to show who's the boss. I let him fly around in the living room almost all the time, just closed the cage if i had to open windows and such. He made a lot of sounds though, some quite loud noises, but usually just funny noises and he talked a whole lot of nonsense and repeatingly saying hi to himself.

No such thing as starter birds as far as I'm concerned. They live too long to choose an "easy" bird if you are passionate about them. Get the bird you're in love with. Don't settle for less. And adopt from rescues when possible. Baby birds aren't developed and can change when they mature. I was 30 when I got my African grey, also my first bird ever. He was 20 at the time. Yeah, he makes sounds. Yeah he bit when we got him. You know what you're getting into.

Quakers are super high energy and need a ton of attention, but they're also one of the hardiest parrots you can possibly get that they're an invasive species. Don't know much about White Eye conures specifically but a lot of conures are pretty similar so you're looking at a really loud large bird in a smaller package. You can't go wrong with either imo. I think your final decision should be to meet up with breeders and get an actual feel for both parrots. Individual personalities can vary greatly even within the same species.

All sorts of good advice here. Nick Morganelli and his wife ran a parrot shop in Winston-Salem for many years (retired years ago and sold the store), and he and his wife were FANTASTIC with their birds, raising babies & breeding. They always let potential customers handle the birds in their shop (those that were safe/socialized enough to do so) for the same reasons you mention. Just discovered your channel today, and I like the "vibe" coming from you and the pretty lady. Interest, passion, and care for the animals as well as the owners (know how to care for your bird properly). Just like "Papa Nick" and his wife always did all those years ago.

Thanks for the advice! I watched this and a lot of videos and decided on a GCC! Hes a sweetheart, no regrets at all

I laughed when you mentioned cockatiels as indipendent and you have to work hard to build their trust. My experience with my cockatiels have been the complete opposite. Ate from my hand day one. Let out day 2. Day 3 asked for scitches and preens my beard. My male is like glue on me 24/7 follows me around everywhere. Has to eat when I eat, shower when I shower, sleep when I sleep and so on. Most of the day he just wanna chill on me pressed against my cheek while sitting on my chest or shoulder and ask for scritches. He rarely wants to sit on a perch unlessI am being annoying by moving my body a lot but that perch has to be at most half a meter away otherwise he thinks I am too far away. I think it is important to keep in mind that parrots just like people are individuals and are usually very different from eachother. Some are more trusting, some are more bitey, some are more active and so on.

In my area, pet shops almost never have cockatiels. They used to get them from hobbyists who got old and stopped breeding 'tiels. Very low parrot avaliability, small local market for parrots ( except budggies, those are relatively popular ).

We love our senegal. He was not cheap. And everyone needs to consider startup cost too.

My first birds were actually birds of prey -> ravens -> blue macaws. All rescues. I never really had much of an issue with any of them. If someone’s patient enough, any bird can be amazing. Although I do not recommend either of the first two as pets, they are not pets and should never be pets. But macaws are amazing. I would love to get some again sometime as I haven’t owned any birds in a few years

Current price for a cockatiel at Petland, Ohio, is $600. Sugarcreek Bird Farm in Ohio charges about $300. Birds from a rescue may "have a past" that makes them a less than ideal starter bird, but can be cheaper and sometimes are a good choice, too.

I am so glad I found your channel - I just subscribed. 🙂 I grew up with cockatiels & parakeets & just love birds! 🦜 🐦 My husband, on the other hand doesn't like the noise that comes from birds. My youngest child REALLY wants one for her 8th birthday in a couple months. We are leaning towards a Meyer's parrot because they are more quiet. May I ask what you think? We have a busy family of 5 children, my husband doesn't like bird chirping / singing, & spending time with the bird is fairly limited because the kids have school, homework, & other activities. *Which do you think would be better for our situation: Meyer's parrot or Green-cheek conure?* Thank you! So glad to have your channel as a resource on birds!

@Fivesaflock

I think with 5 children, I would lean more towards a Pionus. They aren't cuddly and try to avoid grabby hands, while also being larger to take bits of mishandling from children, but they're also still friendly and will sit on their shoulders and arms and be pretty loyal. Meyer's out of Poicephalus, tend to be a bit more territorial and can be one person-ish. I would look at another Poicephalus. But overall I first would recommend scheduling an appointment with a breeder or local store and interact with some parrots first to see if your children can actually handle it. One more thing to consider are allergies. Make sure to get a New World parrot in case dusty Old World parrots are an issue.

You forgot to mention, these guys WILL bite and draw blood if you don't pay attention to their body language. I learned the hard way after Year 1 of his hormonal season, lol. 5 years later and I can't imagine my life without him :) He's my best friend and he's like a velcro

Thanos? Love it.

I would like to see a show on the different conures and I am considering a Crimson Bellied Conure.

Hey new here, do you have any info on Senegals, need great apt bird. Was told to look into Senegals, thoughts...

I am SO stuck between a cocotiel and a green cheek. On one hand the whistling seams appealing, but on the other I love pets with large personalities. Green cheek would be a nice brained, however, I heard “horror stories” of green cheeks being very very loud and in my situation I can afford a little bit of whistle and a little bit of screaming, but not a lot. And it’s also one thing, them being loud and another them screaming all the time, so it’s difficult to find any information on how “bothersome” they might or might not be, because “bothersome” is a subjective term.

I see you recommend green cheek conure as number one, would a sun conure be up there too? Is it all conures? Thanks in advance 😊

A word about conures…. They are super sweet to their original owners….. we fostered a green conure one time who had been my grandmothers parrot. He was tolerant of her and mean as a hornet to us. And I definitely agree with the “mean to other birds” comment. He bit one of my Budgies toes off one time…. Mean, McBroski, mean….

I've got a celestial parolett...a cockatiel and a pineapple conure which doesn't leave my side

Love cockatiels. Easy ( for a parrot ), not too noisy, not too time-needy, will ask for head-scratches once tame. Since they are affordable, best begginer parrot. But do look into second-hand cockatiels, because they live quite long ( 15yo+ ), so often they need a new home from someone who can't keep theirs. I bought both my cockatiels over the years as second-hand birds, and they are amasing. It's cheap, they are just as good, they need a new family.

PLEASE do a review of the Hahn’s Macaw. PLEASE do a review of the Quaker Parrot. Thank you!

Def will for the Hahn's Macaw. Quaker I can't cuz of the state I live in

The don't fall asleep while cuddling a conure is very true. In 2003 I fell asleep while cuddling my black capped conure in my bed and rolled over on him. Usually just cuddled on the couch before that night. He was only about 2 years old so he would probably still be alive.

That’s awful. I’m sorry for our loss!

Do white capped pionus and green cheek conures get along?

White belly caiques are wonderful

I wonder if tropical birds would be good pets for the elderly and those in nursing homes because they would be able to give them a lot of attention

great video

My starter parrot was a Jardine's Parrot. He was funny, affectionate, chatty, not at all loud. Only he didn't like men, for some reason, and he began to adopt a John Wayne -ish stomp while stalking my son. 😂

Are indian ringnecks good beginner birds? Thinking about getting one next year

what do you think about linnies? (linneolated parakeets)
