TOP 10 MOST UNDERRATED PARROTS | Great Parrots for A Beginner
Vložit

- Birbsquad I've missed ya!!! So lets talk underrated parrots that are still great parrots for beginners. I have all of you that commented on my Top Ten Beginner Parrots video to thank for this one. You guys gave me so many other species to consider and talk about. I feel like many of times, several amazing parrot species get overshadowed by those popular in the pet trade. Even though some of these parrot species mentioned in this video are still fairly popular, I don't hear them talked about much or recommended to others. So I wanted to shed some light on these different parrot species because they are all potentially can become amazing companions!!!!
As always, you guys know I recommend first checking out a reputable parrot rescue if you feel necessary to adopt. I never push this on anyone because we all have different lifestyles and experience levels however, it never hurts to look. You never know you may find your next lifelong companion there that you are totally ready for! If you choose to find a breeder, please learn about them and the bird you're interested in as much as possible. I recommend if you're taking this route, to look on www.birdbreeders.com and read reviews on the aviaries. Good luck!!
*If I get a chance I will time stamp each parrot species but for now here is the list:
1. Kakariki
2. Lineolated Parakeets "Linnies"
3. Brotogeris (few different species in this fam but I talk specifically on the Canary Winged Parakeet)
4. Black Capped Conure (consider other Pyhurras as well)
5. Half Moon Conure
6. Red Rumped Parakeet
7. Brown Headed Parrot
8. Mynah Birds
9. Alexandrine Parrot
10. Mealy Amazons
*other species are mentioned in the video as bonuses*

Victoria Ryann - I have heard good things about the blue headed Pionus.
Oddly, there is a little canary wing parakeet in rescue near me. Also a half moon conure that I fell quite in love with at the pet store. He/she already says come here, step up and blows kisses. A real doll! The Quakers I went to see last month were not as friendly as advertised.
So I am still without a bird. 😢
Awe that is awesome!!! Stinks about the Quakers though... The right Birdy will come in your life when it's time. I can feel it 🤗 happy Thanksgiving to you and fingers crossed on finding a Birdy 💜
So good to see you again! Great video! I was hoping to see a video from you this week! Frankie starting saying peek a boo the other day. It's so cute!! I was pretty shocked he's such a quiet little guy. I laughed when you talked about the Alexandrine, the Ringnecks are such challenging birds they need constant work! I tell everyone they will try your patience!! I adore mine but I had my days!😂 I'm sure that is who Frankie learned peek a boo from! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Kiss your birdies💕
@@MyJAG12345 thank you Wendy that means a lot!! Lots going on so I'm trying to at least be somewhat consistent with uploading lol. But I appreciate it and always enjoy talking to you about birds. Must be a crazy birb momma thang 😉haha you ain't kidding about those birdies!! Your birds are so awesome and it's very obvious they are so loved. Give them all a hug for me and hope you and your fam have a happy Thanksgiving as well. You're the best 💜
I came here looking for reasons I wouldn’t want a parrot. Not because I don’t want to get a parrot. But, because I want to make sure I actually want one.
I had a Kakariki and he was a very nice bird. They are extremely active. Mine has a huge vocabulary and he was not cuddly at all but landed on my shoulder or head and wanted to be near me, he would step up for a second and off he would go. I love them and would want another but there are none around. You are right about the linnies and their huge ostrich poops, lol. They are a great little bird.
Brown heads are considered a great bird, my friend has one and said he is the best bird she has had. You talked about some great birds. I would love a canary winged but there are none around in my area.
Your video was awesome!
Yh I feel dame I'd have kakarikis again but I only like natural colours not mutations and it's hard to get hold of em plenty of buttercup kakarikis which are sweet but I like them green
"for us normal people sitting on the couch eating twinkies"
Me: Looks down at the biscuit my bird is trying to steal from my hand
For some reason..The Quaker parrot's appearance, reminds me of a Beluga Whale lol. So cute ❤
Linnies had a good chest work out... but they skipped leg day! OMG, Victoria Ryan, you crack me up!
LOL. Thank you Judith hope you and your daughter are doing well! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!
Her: I am really excited for 2020!😄
man she didn’t know what was coming....
I'm so happy that you listed Linnies as your #2 pick. I breed and love them so much. I also have Conures and breed Eastern Rosellas but my personal all time fav are Linnies. Their poop isn't really that bad, mine are trained to use puppy pads that I have outside their cages. I just wish I could keep up with the demand as everyone seems to love these easy going goofballs. Not only do they learn to talk from their keepers but they learn words from each other as well.
@@sandwichqueen6875 as long as you keep in regular contact with your birds this will never happen. They will see you as a member or vice versa of their flock. I especially love the babies. When you hand feed them formula they are like “velcro” birds. Always clinging to you... so loving.
When I was young I thought the only birds in the world. We’re crows cause in my country you can see them everywhere
Haha no way! I'm sure it's really cool though seeing all these different types of birds now.
Yea after my sisters budgie died I started seeing more birds like hummingbirds and other types
I live in an area of the USA were I see cows all the time I live in farm land in Pennsylvania also see deer all the time like white tail deer
Crowes and ravens are some of the smartest birds out there, I'd love to keep a crow but you can only shoot/kill and maim them. Not keep and take care of domestically. Yet you can purchase a nondomestic crow for around 12 15 hundred if I remember right.
@@moonolyth I think you can get a raven
I clicked because I saw a Kakariki in the thumbnail. I own a pair of them myself. They are very quiet, cute and gentle birds. Very good for apartmentliving too! I always let them fly around everyday as much as they want. And I love the way they sound. (They sound like little high pitched sheep).
I have 4 and I agree- they're great! They're just not cuddly like quakers or conures, and difficult to breed and hand feed, so they're not popular.
I love Kaks they are absolutely beautiful
I have a bb/canary winged parakeet and he is the best, he even knows hi and he is so loving.
hahn's macaws are the best, i absoluteley adore them. they are soooooooooooooo cute.
Another brilliant video from my favourite youtuber...........thanks very much I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with next year x
Idk if I'm weird or anything- but I found the brown headed parrot so cute that it made my heart flutter-
Your pronunciation of Mynah is actually the most accurate. I know because it is a Hindi word and that is the language I grew up speaking ✅
Super glad I found your channel.
I just really enjoy how laid back and happy go lucky you are compared to most bird owners.... I quit using/looking at parrot forums a long time ago because I can't stand the over-the-top borderline OCD demeanors.. not to say birds/parrots don't have their own lvl of "commitment" required in proper care, but it's super refreshing knowing there's more down to earth bird lovers out there.
Thank you this was so kind of you and made my morning!!!! Yeah I'm there with ya unfortunately there's a lot of judgement in the animal community its very aggravating. But I hope you always feel welcomed and appreciated here because if not I'm not doing my part. Thank you again and I hope you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving 💜
@@VictoriaRyann well props for doin your thing and putting out the amazing (and incredibly informative) content :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
Mynah birds can be seen on the streets EVERYWHERE where we live. In fact, I can see three right now outside my house. They're VERY common where we live in. People don't really take care of Mynah's where I live in since they sorta live on the outside. But yes, they are adorable.
Same here 😊
Wow, where do you live? 🤯
@@angrybudgie96 lebanon maybe? I hear them talking in the streets of beirut. They can be very unnerving but really beautiful
I love your comparisons and your acting - catlike birds: they want to be with you but not too much😂😂😂, soo true
I have an Alexanderine and he's the quietest between my six other parrots
Oh wow that is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing that in case someone here is interested in an alexandrine
My aunt had a Kakariki when I was a teen. He was awesome. He loved to hang out and he talked all the time! I have barely heard about them in years. I started to think she called him a Kakariki while they were called something else... lol
You are Awesome, glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much for openly sharing your knowledge. I don’t know how I didn’t see your videos sooner. You have such a bubbly personality and seem so easy to ask questions to! Thank you SUBSCRIBED!! 👍
Thank you so much I appreciate your kindness!!! Yes thank you because I never ever want to come across as judgemental. Also thank you for subscribing that means a lot. Hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving
just came across your channel and I seriously love your videos!!
A slew of useful insights😊 Thank you so much!
Missed you more Victoria glad your bk xx
Robert! Hey how's things going? And thank you so much!!!!!!!
@@VictoriaRyann Hey things are great here Victoria hope all is ok hope your finger is better xx
Thank you for introducing me to linnies! They honestly sound spot on for me. 🥰
Interesting topic. Another quality content Vid. Love it.
Thank you very much I appreciate it. Hope you're doing well 💜
I love videos like these! I'm no where near the stage I need to be at to have a bird but doesn't stop me researching them and looking into who could be a good fit for me in ten years :') I've the most experience with green cheeks and caiques since my friend has them and I constantly offer to pet sit lol
Awe thanks girl! Yeah these are super fun haha. Oh wow ten years?! You're a more patient person than I lol. Super excited for you though I hope you find a Birdy to share your life with 💜 omg caiques and gccs together?!? That will keep you on your toes lol thank you again for your input and kindness. Hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!
So happy that you listed canary winged bebes. They are incredible birds and so smart and friendly and cuddly. They’re just the best.
Lol my bee bee, Maui, is such a sweet little guy. A bit unsure about scritches yet, but he looooves being with you and holding my pinkie with his little foot. ❤
Kakarikis are a type of grass parakeet meaning they naturally eat in the ground like cockatiels budgies and doves.
Linnie’s prefer to walk rather than fly and they’re one of the smallest parrots that grab stuff with their feet
I have mountain parakeets they are a bit smaller than parrotlet with long tails they eat with their feet too there great eaters too literally finish everything all the time but love when they eat using feet
I literally looked up brown headed parrots (I love them now I think they are adorable)
And half of the pictures were Senegal’s
Gf they are the sweetest!! You can't go wrong with a brown headed parrot that's for sure 💜 I'm so glad you like them as well. Happy Thanksgiving to ya!!
I have a senegal and they're the best
@@VictoriaRyann Ah yes the brown headed parrot the 3rd most common Poicephulus parrot in captivity (the 2nd is the Meyers which is also a very nice parrot) 🦜 😀
red rumped parakeets are my favourite, they are so pretty! they live in the wild WHERE I LIVE, I see them nearly everyday!!
Awesome sauce from l.a california thankyouverymuch. nice information
Wow I learned a ton in this vid 💗💗
omg! a lineolated parakeet! I saw a picture of one a couple months ago and could NOT find out what kind of bird that was! they're so cute and neat!
Once again an amazing video! Thank you!xx
Thank you Ally I really appreciate you saying that. Any plans for Thanksgiving?
@@VictoriaRyann Nothing much! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgivingxx
Hey sometimes that can be a good thing lol. Thank you so much 💜
Wow your nails are rocking.love the withe tree. This was a great video.
Thank you very much!!! I really appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Hey Victoria! As always, the bird community thanks you for sharing! I'm boarding a BB this week----she's very sweet:). Keep up the great work. Sara and I send our best!
Glenn!! How are you and Sarah? Some of your comment is marked out with a long black line I've never seen this happen before haha. Hope you and your fam have a happy Thanksgiving and as always I really appreciate you always being there for me and my parrot journey 💜 you're the best!
Hey Victoria! Always great to hear from you! Black line be gone! Thanks for the kind words:). Best to you and my feathered friends!
@@Jibiki haha idk I think it may have been something weird on my end because it refreshed itself and now it's gone lol. But that's so cool you're boarding a bb!! Thank you again give Sarah a hug for me 🤗
Will do! Kisses to Yoshi & Popples!
I rescued a White Capped Pionus named Ali. She's a sweetheart and so mellow. She adds the chill factor to my lovebird and conure flock! She's really beautiful too ❤🐦❤
Hi, I just loved learning about these diff. Species, btw, Jake watched it with me! I just taught Jake to raise his wings on command, it is soo fun!😘
Carol!!! There are so many awesome parrot species for sure. I've got to try that with mine that is so cool!!! Jake is such a smart lil birb 💜 hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!
We don't want to run all the time, some weirdos want to😂, I love your human- bird comparisons!!!
Haven't gotten but a few minutes in and I just can't stop looking at and thinking about how much I love your hair! 😂
Haha well thank you Laura I appreciate it. Perks of having dark hair I just throw the dye all over and I'm good to go 😂 👍 hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving
@@VictoriaRyann Victoria Ryann You're welcome. I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving with your family, as well. After finishing the video, I had to take a moment and remind myself of all the reasons why I should never get a mynah. 😩 They are just so beautiful and awesome in so many ways.
I second the no clipping of the kakarikis! I have 4 and letting them all out of their cages to fly, is chaos.
They have TONS of energy and become very neurotic when they don't get to fly. They also can bite very hard, in response to being cornered and frustrated. Also they LOVE water. They are in half fish. Seriously they drench themselves daily.
The downside is also that they have a shorter lifespan. The health of the kakariki population outside of New Zealand, is concerning, given the number that end up dead very young.
They're still fairly new, so there's probably something super important in their diet that, as keepers, we're missing.
🐦🐦Beautiful❤❤
Good job!
Awesome video!!! I currently have a 9 month old Jenday Conure and I'm absolutely in love with her. When I'm ready I plan to get a Senegal parrot. I don't know much about that species but I find them to be so beautiful.
Awe that is so cool!! Do you feel like your Jenday is loud? I'm excited for you to possibly get a Senegal. They are awesome birds as I'm sure you know.
Victoria Ryann. I wouldn't really consider my Jenday Emma loud. She sounds off when she's excited to see me (whenever I walk into the room she's in) or when she's outside in my screen room and sees other birds flying around. Other than that she just very chatty making all kinds of cute squeeks and duck noises. She definitely tries to communicate but doesn't say any words yet
However she is very "nippy" and we're working on it. I've tried a few ways to get her to stop biting but haven't worked. Now when she's being a nippy brat I blow in her face ( lightly)and say a gentle but firm no and this is working well so far. I've heard conures are biters but I just couldn't resist Emma's clown like personality.
I have A SENEGAL highly recommend, they're soo awesome!
Love your vids Victoria! I really want to get a bird but my parents are kinda afraid :(
Thank you I really appreciate it 💜 well if there's anything that I can ever help with that I can try.
Hi, Like the video, I breed meyers and have an excellent hand raiser, they turn out so sweet and affectionate and love loving you, so I think your scale between meyer independence and cockatoo may be based on poorly raised meyers? With the brown heads though are they any much different than the meyers?
What cage do you recommend for a green cheeked conure?
I enjoy your channel and knowledge. Thank you.
Very accurate on the kakariki and black capped conures, both fly very well, the kakariki thinks he lives in the Red Bull air race, and the conure is like a peregrine falcon on steroids, I literally can't get my plate out of the way in time!😂 I'm glad you emphasised the no wing clipping thing with kakarikis, they really do love to fly so much!
Hahahahaha I love your descriptions of the two 😂 that's awesome and thank you for the input. You are awesome as per usual and I hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!
Great Video! One question. Are you not afraid of them getting hurt with the ceiling fan?
Your channel helped me with doing my research for my (now) 9 month old green cheek parakeet. Keep doing what you’re doing to help more people in the future! :DD
Thank you so much for saying that!!! It means a lot and lets me know to keep going. I really appreciate it thank you 🤗 I'm so glad to hear things are working out with your gcc. They definitely have minds of their own don't they 😂 thank you again and hope you and your fam have a happy Thanksgiving!
We've had a black capped conure for almost 2 months. She is a little nippy, but very sweet. She loves to cuddle, especially right up under your neck, or in your hair and likes ever person in the home and every she has met so far. She is a little too clingy though. When she is out she really wants to be on you. it's probably her age, she is only about 7 months old. She is definitely a clown and rolls on her back like a dog and gets you with her feet. Very happy so far with her.
Awe that's awesome Phantom and I really appreciate you sharing your experiences so far with a black capped. I think this will really help someone looking into getting one. Thank you again and tell her my flock and I says hi 💜 also happy Thanksgiving to you and your fam
@@VictoriaRyann Thank you for even putting this information out there. There is so little information especially on CZcams about Black Capped Conures. It makes it hard to know where to go for advice. Even Parrot forums there are not many people with them sharing.
We live in Hawaii and mynas live wild here. They’re such great talkers! We are actually looking into getting a Pionus. They seem like such lovely companion birds
Irie in Paradise pionus are the best
I live in Israel and Mynas are everywhere here
I’m getting a new Parrotlet from a breeder. What should I do the first day and week? Some say don’t touch it at all some say the polar opposite like let it come out on its own and interact with it. What do you recommend?
They are all such beautiful birds...but I am biased, I love all birds. Yes! Dewey the menace says be careful! Dont sit on open car doors or sneak into open drawers! Don't stick to your Dads finger when he is working on the truck, Dont perch on the trim on the other side of a closed door, don't try to pick a fight with a wild Blue Jay...you get the idea.
Oh yeah!!! Haha Dewey is awesome "don't try to pick a fight with a blue jay" 🤣 sounds like a green cheek lol
Linnies are the best on this list imo the brotogeris too if u don't mind noise. I see feral Yellow Chevroned Parakeets outside everyday in LA and they're beautiful bright green.
I always consider rosy bourkes to be pretty underrated and difficult to find (around here anyway) but my bourke, Fiji, is amazing. In my experience bourkes are honestly the sweetest, kindest, most gentle soul I have ever encountered in the parrot world.
Also I think it is so funny how every says conures are not great talkers, cause I must have gotten massivly lucky with mine cause 2 out of 3 of my gcc's are talkers. Rio talks all the time and has a pretty big vocabulary, while Tiki is a shy talker but definitely a talker.
Also hope everything is going well with you and your family, girl! 💕
Right there with ya girl. I rarely ever see them in my area either but they are so sweet. Hahaha maybe you're the conure whisperer and able to bring out their inner talk abilities 👀 lol but that is seriously really cool though. Tell them all I said hi ☺️ and thank you we are all doing really well. Very very lucky. Hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving!
Thumbs up
Thanks gf appreciate ya!
I’m sooo exited. I’m getting a green cheeked in a month
Ahhh no way!!! Super excited for ya. Do you have a name picked out yet?
Yeah. It’s parents are from Mexico so I called him taco :D
I run 7+ miles a day. I'm running 10 today..5 at noon and 5 tonight lol.
Victoria, I lost my Booberry....I’m inconsolable. I miss her so much and so does my GC, EV. I’m beyond devastated, this pain is unlike any pain I’ve ever felt.... I miss her kisses and everything else about her. My heart is shattered into a million pieces....
Oh no!!!! I am so sorry to hear this girly yes that kind of pain is extremely difficult to go through. I know there isn't anything I can say to make it all better for you but hope you know we are all here for you 💜💜💜 youre a fantastic bird mom and no doubt in my mind you did what you could. This will take time but you'll get through this 💜
I have one question,are a pyrrhura molinae and pyrrhura hypoxante the same species and are all those species green cheek conure or something else...And which species is Yoshi(scientific name)
I see red rumped parakeets on my school oval everyday when I walk home :)
I’m seriously considering getting an alexandrine as a first time bird owner and I would love it if you made some more in depth videos on them ☺️
Had one when I was 14 and we would never clip his wings he flew away one time though after 6 years haha. My sister and i we're just talking about getting another because we loved it so much now that I'm older (29) maybe I can actually train it and it won't fly away.
I would not recommend an Eclectus as a starter parrots. (Really great video) hadn’t heard of half of these.
Thanks for your input on that Harriet!! They are quite loud little boogers at least the ones I've been around lol. But thank you for the compliment I appreciate it!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Hi Victoria, just put a deposit on a half moon conure. He talks and does nip. Was in a home with kids . Age: 1 year. Going to see him in 2 weeks. Getting DNA testing in the interim. Hard to find this breed. 😨
I know exactly what u mean by under rated I have always been in love with the military macaws and one day I hope to have my own 😆 4 kids make a macaw a bit on the expensive size..
This is pretty old but hope you get that Macaw man!
I have my heart set 100% on a brown headed parrot but can’t seem to find one anywhere. I live in Michigan and from what I’ve noticed they don’t seem very popular because I have been calling bird places and they don’t even know what a brown headed parrot is!
Hi are the conures one of the better choices for people with allergies. I have chance of a green cheeked conure that's all
We already have a Alexandrian since last 19 years, though his voice is very loud he never disturbs anyone during odd hours
Awe that's awesome!!! Alexandrines are great.
How do i stop the constant shreeking of my 3 conures as all 3 are rescues and were needing homes
13:31 that’s because red rumps and bourkes are both a type of grass parrot so they’re closely related
your so helpful thank you!!!!
This is for those who don't have talking Green Cheeks...mine says Good Boy, Bad Birdy, Birdy Poop, Whataya Doin, Kiss ur mom, Tango (his real name) and tickle, tickle. It's not loud but not quiet either and it's is very clear.
Kakarikis are so rare in the uk even tho so many people sell them and they are so cheap. People in the uk only like birds that you tubers have and they don’t really consider wonderful birds like Kakarikis they are like £20-£50
I have two Bourkes parakeets myself and what I've heard is different between them and red rumps is that red rumps are going to be a lot more aggressive... maybe not towards humans but towards other birds. In fact, likely too aggressive to be kept with Bourkes unless they're in an aviary setting (and even then, I'd say take care because even zebra finches can bully Bourkes in some circumstances!). Between the two of them, Bourkes are definitely the gentler species. Grasskeets in general are going to be gentle, though independent birds and if you want one that is affectionate with you, you are better off finding a hand-raised bird as sometimes these birds do not tame, and even when they do, sometimes they are not going to be willing to step up. Even between my two Bourkes, I have one that is super sweet, loves to step up and kiss (and land on my head!) and one that pretty much hates my hands (even if she steps up, she usually flies off shortly thereafter), but they both do love to be with me, or doing their own thing when I let them out. It's important to remember that all birds have their own personalities but Bourkes are probably more likely to make better pets than red rumps.
Looked up canary winged parakeets because I just saw them at a local pet store. They’re charging 380 for them a piece.
i never knew amazon birds were underrated
Are alexandrine parrots starter birbs
Looking for recommendations on what kind of parrot I should get. I’m a full time college student with a part time job. I would like a bird that will bond with me and will sit with me while I watch tv or do homework. I’m not super rich and I’m fairly new to having a pet parrot so a bird which isn’t too expensive and not too demanding would probably be best for me. Any suggestions?
Budgie
I got a gcc two days ago and he is an angel. He will not bite at all. But he won’t step up. He will come on me, but won’t step up.
How about cherry headed Conyers/red mass parakeets?
I was about to get a Senegal parrot put I got a green cheek instead. Am I dumb?
Mynah birds are a species of starling.
Bronze wing pionus is underrated and hard to find. They are quiet, dont bite and just chill. Senegals are also pretty quiet but they are nippy and not for children.
Yh my kakarikis were so acrobatic in the air they flew out the window though thanks to my dad i also have 2 jendays 3 mountain parakeets and 3 parrotlets
I have a kakariki and they are a good first bird as long as you do your research they will come land on you often but don’t expect lots of cuddles however they do like them every now and then and they do want and need to fly they are amazing flyers and they are a sane bird as birds go 😂 but yea it’s about what’s best for you
Do you know why you cant buy grey cheeked parakeets anymore?? I had two of them but not at the same time. They are almost already tame when you get them. At least both of mine were. The second one named Scooter, he was great and so attached to me. So why arnt they for sale anymore.
Isle of Tenerife,
Spain,
Africa.
BRILLIANT!
I needed and so enjoyed the information, and I CRACKED UP at her delivery, SO FUNNY!
'Laughed out LOUD, no kidding!
This lady's sense of humour is so irreverent and spontaneous, just what we need these days, thank God she's as funny as people always used to be before!
Instead of mitred (rhymes with "lightered") she decides to just go ahead and pronounce it "mit-red" and she doesn't give a darn!
BRILLIANT!
Best wishes,
Patchy.
Nandys are coomon in southern Florida
I have a Kakariki parrot and she is the best!
Awe that's awesome!! I usually don't meet too many people that have one. Really cool 💜
Sitting on the couch with a bird eating food 👍😂
😂😂😂
What do you think is the right age for a person to have a bird?
I had a kakiriki
Please, tell me how better to hold as a pet, one or one pair of blue fronted amazon? I have a boy (near 4 years old ) and recent i got an 8 months old girl for him. In the last few weeks, he's become aggressive towards me. Will it be permanent or shortly? What am I supposed to do to keep him on my side? Thanks! I am very anxious and nervous about his attitude and I would like to know if he will return to me as he was before or not. What should I do? I am a poor old man who has in this world only a parrot and a few dollars a day, the vets ask me many hundreds of dollars for a little advice. Shame on them! Please can someone help me with a free advice. Thank you !
I have Alexandrine 1 year old he can speak
On the Mynah bird, I used to call the miner birds, anyway they will be, or way back when, LONG time ago, mine was what one would call mischievous. Real funny story about him from the lady I got him from. I will tell some day. Hint, think skunk and myanh bird together and a stranger.
