I got a cockatiel when I was 16, he wasn't hand raised and would hiss/bite everyone and generally had an attitude. Instead of being turned off by his behaviour I actually found it endearing because it reminded me of myself where I preferred to be alone and got easily annoyed by other people. I had never tamed a bird before but I was determined to make this little shit like me. I watched a lot of bird training videos and spent everyday after school with him. It took like a year to get to a fairly good stage between us where he would step up and let me pet his head/neck, sat on my shoulder and whistle back to me. I'm sure someone with more experience could have done it faster but for a 16/17 year old I was pretty happy; especially since I screwed up a lot, where I would get impatient or end up encouraging bad behaviour by accident. Nobody else in my house wanted to touch him because of his biting habit but that never really bothered me and I tried not to react when he did. Overtime we gained a mutual respect for each other, he taught me responsibility and perseverance and he learnt to trust others. He's my companion for life now and I would never give him up. He's only bonded to me and while he loves to be petted and spend time by my side he pretty much hates everyone else. I love his grumpy personality and his narcissism. Still I would definitely not recommend birds without doing a lot of research first, and would not recommend birds for teenager/kids unless they are extremely mature and fully aware of the huge responsibility or the parents are experienced owners. Most 16 year olds wouldn't stick with it like I did. Thanks to my cockatiel I now love birds and am hoping to get either a Conure or an Indian Ringneck next.
My Grandmother had an Amazon named Pepe that lived for 80 years. He died when he fell off a perch. We had a family funeral for Pepe. My Grandmother got very depressed after Pepe passed away and she got cancer soon after and passed away too.
Pet Adventures the thing is you cry for it if that's not the case you say you have a choice a bird or a bird they will have to choose a bird thank me later
I'm kinda shocked doves weren't in that quiz. I know they're far from the first bird people think of for a pet bird but I think they're criminally underrated.
I have 4 parakeets and I try to bond with them separately but they would much rather spend time with each other than me which is sad but I learned the hard way
Parakeets are bird birds. The bigger birds are more prone to bond with you even if you have another bird, but as far as parakeets (budgies) if you have pairs of parakeets ESPECIALLY a group, they will mainly only pay attention to each other.
Hello Tyler, as a bird owner, African Grey, you did an amazing job on this vlog. One thing you may want to add is if a person has asthma or any other respiratory issues to know about the dander is higher in some birds than others. I have asthma and didn't know a cockatoo had a high level of dander. We had to rehome our pair because of the dander. It was a difficult thing to go through. God's blessings to you and yours, Lin
Dude that bird quiz is awesome! It has so much information about each individual bird and I love that it matches you with the perfect one! 😍 definitely sharing this
I have a cockatiel...he was tamed when I bought him from the shop but as soon as I brought him home he was a completely different bird!!! He was afraid of EVERYTHING even pencils rubbers notebooks his new cage toys etc.... After 3 months of training he became the bravest little buddy I could own!!! So thankful to have him in my life!!!
Rescuing is the way to go. Not only are you saving a life, but the rescue will already know the personality and temperament of the bird, so it’s easier to find one that fits your lifestyle. My little (loud) sun conure Max is my best friend and makes my life a lot brighter!
Love when you say "You are gonna wanna be happy with your bird it's intire life" and it's the first time we hear Mango speak haha made me want a bird more but I know better and know I can't make the commitment right now. Some day tho hopefully. 🐦's are dope!
If you want a beginner bird get a toy one 😂 There is no such thing as beginner birds. Especially parrots which have the intelligence of 5 year olds and the temper of 2 year olds. Basically very long lived todlers.
There is such thing as beginner birds. Some birds are easier to take of than others. Once you learn to take care of the easier ones then you can move on to the more demanding ones. Someone like you shouldn’t be giving advise. considering how shitty you are and how you treat people I can’t imagine how you treat animals.

Lovebirds are great "starter" birds since they're small, affectionate, and only live up to 15 years. I've owned 4 and they are fantastic little companions
Katherine Harvey they are not good starter birds, I would not recommend them to someone who has never had a bird before. They can get territorial, aggressive, loud, messy, and constantly demand attention and some people don’t know how to deal with that.
I never thought birds were a hard breed to take care of I've always had a variety of birds from doves to chickens and raised baby birds they have quite a adorable personality
Just because a quiz said a cockatiel is your soulbird or something doesn't mean you should get one without doing research. And the research doesn't stop after you get your bird either. You should always try to give your pet the best quality of life to the best of your abilities without any type of quality of care compromise.
I’ve been wanting one since I was a young girl. The quiz agreed with me to get a cockatiel. I honestly have been reading up on them since I was 5, so....... yeah. I’ll been getting one soon! (Hopefully!)
I hope you get your cockatiel. What color/mutation would you get? I love the pearl cockatiels. I took the quiz also and it said meyers parrot. Which is spot on because I have a meyers parrot.😁
I've been wanting an Indian Ringneck Parkakeet all my life. But I never really read up on them before because I could never afford it. Now that I CAN get a bird, I decided to do some reading. Turns out the Indian Parakeet does NOT fit the lifestyle I live, And I came across this video and I actually took the bird quiz. No matter how much I tweaked my answers in minor ways, it always gives me the names of two different parrots from Africa, I never even heard of. But they definitely match my lifestyle. So, abandoning childhood dreams, I am reading and studying up on these two new parrots, and hopefully I will be able to get a hold of one of these two in my country. So, thanks for posting that quiz. :)
I know it's been a year, but no bird. Please don't adopt an animal you won't be able to give proper attention to, especially one that requires as much attention as a bird. Wait until you have more time or get an easier pet.
Tyler, your video is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much for putting this great content out for those of us who are seeking advice. Your quiz was super helpful in helping me determine my ideal bird choice (Cockatiel). On a side note, great teeth man! lol. Thanks again Tyler!
I really really want to thank you for ALL the advice you have gave me in my 1 month of taking care of birds :)) You are really knowledgable about birds and other animals which is what I enjoy as I also have a dog
we got 3 meat turkeys and I connected to those darn things, more than any other animal. As a 13 year old I think I took care of them well. my mom said that I could get a bird after the turkeys because of how well I handled them. I think I connected with them because of how goofy and surprisingly sincere they were. They were kind, goofy, and messy, like me I guess they were also generally enraged by the smallest things which also made me feel closer to them, yet again because of how similar they were.
My grandma promised to get me a cockatiel this weekend and i took the quiz and i got a cockatiel! I’m so happy. Also, i came across your video trying to research cockatiel care. thank you
I remember taking this quiz and i got a scarlet macaw the first time the second time was a blue and gold macaw. I already have a lovebird and im doing a lot of research on a scarlet macaw before getting one. I know a lovebird bird and scarlet are pretty different so im going to do alot of research and make sure i can be able to pay for everything before getting on
I did the quiz and I got paired with an African grey. I’m a teen, but I’m willing to put in the studying and work because I already liked African greys
I liked the quiz. It was cute. My result was a parakeet. Wanted a little buddy for myself and my kids. Animals really cheer us up and my kids love to give them attention. We have a guinea pig, Stella, who gets an overwhelming amount of attention so I would like to balance it out and give another animal the chance for love too.
Very helpful Tyler. I took the quiz and it addressed all my questions and it shows everything you need about the best fitting parrot and where to find or adopt one. Thank you!!!
I really want a bird but I have to switch houses every week and for one week I can pretty much spend the whole week with them but for the other I can only spend an hour and a half a day but I really want them to love me. What bird do you think I should get?
If you're looking for easy birds, here's my experience: (Cheaper birds: Budgies & Finches, they are cheaper, live shorter, and have a slimmer chance of bonding with it). (Cuddly birds: Parrotlets, Cockatiels, and Lovebirds! All my personal favorites. Usually these are pretty expensive, but if your looking for a pretty easy bird, that will also bond with you, with a price of course). If your looking for a beginner level bird, do not adopt/buy a large bird, anything that looks like it belongs in the Rio movie, I suggest you put that off for now. Again these are just my personal experiences! Hope this helps!
My first and only birb:Cockateil. I LOVE him.I like how you can see if he is scared or angry or calm easily.We saved him from an abusive petstore (They would hit the pets,they were forced to close down)I like the "medium" size too.
Dear Tyler. I had a few questions about birds I (my grandpa) has an African Grey and I'm really fond of it but for some reason he won't let me pet him unless I give him my finger and he tests me by biting it not so hard but sometimes he bites so hard that my finger starts bleeding. Is that normal? Anyone else can help as well
Mikyle Noman Sulehri I’m not sure about African Greys, but I know some birds typically stay bonded only with their owner. If you haven’t known the bird for too long, just keep trying to bond with him/her and make sure they feel safe and welcome.
That’s just an African Grey thing. Most African Greys do not enjoy being petted. They like being held, and talked to, and all that but they do not like being petted. The rescue I volunteer at has about 7 Greys and none of them like being petted.
Mikyle Noman Sulehri it is normal it means hes just testing your finger as a perch just dont react if he bites you he will just end up disliking you more.
Okay how about this? My mom has had many birds in the past, including African Greys. They are very big and loud , messy like she has said and she said when my sister moves out; with our cat we may get a bird! She said I should do research so I am and she said maybe an African grey because they are very entertaining. So now this: my mom is always home with my grandparents and I have to be at school. How would I take care of it while I'm away? And what bird sounds good for us?
Ugh I want a bird so bad I just know I couldn’t give it the proper care with my life style so I would never get one. I usually just watch bird videos and dream lol! So cute! Great video.
One thing I keep wondering is, while you said (I think in another video?) that you are at home most of the time and that some species, like the sun conure, need constant attention...do you never go on a trip for the day? Weekend? Vacation? How do you deal with being absent for any prolonged period of time if your birds depend so much on you being there?
Hey I just recently got a sun conure on the 22nd for my birthday and I've been watching sense thene I won't to say thank you for the vids my bird is on my shoulder right now
I go to school and my parents go to work. But I am devoted to spending all of my outer time and effort into them. I’ve been wanting a bird for a while. I’d rather have an easy bird so what should I get? I really want to get a sun conure but, idk if they’re easy.
If you want more than 1 bird but want him/her to bond with you get your favorite out of the bunch, make sure it is summer or winter break so you could bond with it, then get your other bird so when you leave for school, work, etc...., it will bond with you. (I don’t have a bird but I’m planing on getting one, tell me if this is a good idea)
That quiz can be a good start to get some good info, but do not by any means take it to heart. What I mean is, it can suggest a bird though that doesn't mean that bird is the right one for you. Every bird is a lot of work. Even the budige and sadly these little birds and many other large and small parrots are abused because people do not know what they are getting into! So if your thinking about getting a bird do as much research as possible! And as Tyler said visit birds and get an idea of what your getting into. There isn't a thing as a "quite" bird. The two I personally have while I don't think they are loud, others probably would. Also even my finches while they make really pretty sounds they are going all day so things to keep in mind. Parrots and birds in general are a lot of work and you cannot just keep them in a cage and expect them to be happy (well, finches don't want to be handled lol though they do need a LARGE cage. Even though they are small they require a decent amount of space so they can fly and also you should atleast have finches in pairs.) Hope this has helped someone!
If you love the larger conures but not how undeniably loud they are, I'd suggest a Golden Capped conure if they have them up for adoption or even for sale (they tend to be rarer though) as they tend to be quieter. Of course they're still loud and it depends on the individual.
marquise Washington Some people like myself are in love with the more vivid colors of the aratinga genus, and I'd still wouldn't suggest getting a gold capped if you live an apartment, but they do tend to be a lot quieter than their close relatives
Crimson bellied conures, blue throated conures, painted conures, fiery shoulder conures, pearly conures, rosifrons conures, mutations of green cheek conures are all very colorful. If the Aratinga genus wasn't so loud I would love them to death. Especially the jenday and nanday conures.
I️ love your videos! You are so knowledgeable of your animals and are very good about doing disclaimers and informing your audience that pets are a commitments and all animals have different needs. It is obvious how much you love and advocate for animals.
You have inspired me to get a ball python. He is a male regular ball python he is still pretty small the moment I saw him I fell in love with him. That day was the first time I held a snake, I was a little nervus and shaky but I feel that I can get used to it. I've been researching about ball pythons as well. I can't wait to get him on christmas, HOPEFULLY he will still be there.
My first bird was a cockatiel, I had 2 of them, but after 1 flew away, and we gave the other one away, we decided on getting a Indian ring neck. Honestly as an experienced bird owner cockatiels are an amazing breed to get and bond with as a beginner.
I have two parakeets, they are the cutest! What funny with them is, they always chatter a lot whenever I'm on the phone and then will be super quiet after I hang up.
I rescued a Blue and gold macaw that is 10 years old and I have a African grey and a cape parrot I love them sooo much and they are so sweet. Also the macaw old owner had him for 10 years and she was moving out with her boyfriend and the mother wasn't gonna take care of him and they brought him back to the store.
Hey dad. This video was very useful. I still have yet to take the quiz but I'll do it later. I had a parakeet for like 5 years but... unfortunately, there was cockroach poison on the floor and he had digested some. He was green and yellow, his name was cashmere. I will forever miss my best friend. 💞💞 He was my one and only. It's been like 5 years since I've last seen him.
Took the quiz and got an 83% match with cockatiels! They're adorable so I'd love to get one eventually, but I'll have to wait until I have the space and the money for one ❤️
The quiz said that I should get parrolets, and other parakeets and green cheek conures. I am not sure about my answer because Parrolets are difficult to take care of. I have thought about getting one and I did my research with them some time ago. They have a big parrot personality with a small body. They can be fiesty and need training! But maybe I will get one someday. I will see. Thanks for the vid. It helped a lot! Subbed and liked!
The quiz gave me yellow-tailed parrotlet named Rubia. I was like, "NO. BAD IDEA. I AM AT SCHOOL OFTEN, AND THEY ARE MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE, AND MY MOM HATES BIRDS."
Very informative! I'm researching getting a pet bird, so every ounce of research helps. Used to raise homing pigeons when I was younger, although pigeons and parrots are very different from each other.
I own a sun conure they are very loud but gentle. I recommend getting them as a baby so they bond with you and get very used to you. It was my first bird and it is a great beginner bird. Sun conures in my opinion are the best birds in all the parrots. Cockatoos are good but need a lot of attention and develop really bad behaviours. African greys are extremely mean and hate attention. And Macaws have a hell of a bite.
aha I took the quiz twice & got a cockatiel and a pacific parrotlet but I just got two white faced violet lovebirds today;)) love them to death already and I got them hand fed,, definitely looking forward to training them a bunch
I got a cockatiel when I was 16, he wasn't hand raised and would hiss/bite everyone and generally had an attitude. Instead of being turned off by his behaviour I actually found it endearing because it reminded me of myself where I preferred to be alone and got easily annoyed by other people. I had never tamed a bird before but I was determined to make this little shit like me. I watched a lot of bird training videos and spent everyday after school with him.

Most 16 year olds wouldn't stick with it like I did. Thanks to my cockatiel I now love birds and am hoping to get either a Conure or an Indian Ringneck next.
Montez Good job man, I'm glad you didn't give up on your bird!
i started reading this, then i clicked *Read more*
and i was like NOPE. seems inspiring though :)
Do you have an Instagram? Because I need your advice. I am 15 and I got myself a pair of cockatiels two months ago but I never bonded with them.
Haha I love it. Both you and them the bird are just emo teens. 😂
Life stories
Tyler: "how much noise you can handle..."
Mango: *Squak*
Translation: Lots.
Mango is GLOWING he’s so iconic 😂
Ikr
My Grandmother had an Amazon named Pepe that lived for 80 years. He died when he fell off a perch. We had a family funeral for Pepe. My Grandmother got very depressed after Pepe passed away and she got cancer soon after and passed away too.
Paul Manno dang when nicknwas skinny
Damn. U commented this when u were normal 😐
What a weirdo
I’m very sorry for both your losses, my condolences
Shut up,it was a part of the family, it deserves that
I love mango! He is so cute!
Hey MJ. I love your channel
marquise Washington I see you on MARLENE MC'COHEN's channel all the time!
Pokemomo I know, i see you too. She just has amazing videos.

I'm kinda shocked doves weren't in that quiz. I know they're far from the first bird people think of for a pet bird but I think they're criminally underrated.
Doves and pigeons are "the same" species, right? Like, sort of..., right? They're a breed of pigeon, aren't they?
for being a sun conure, mangos quiet
TomBerthomier Vlogs i was about to say that for once mango is quiet
Yeah, probably because he was with Tyler. You can almost always hear him screaming in the other room for attention in his other videos lol
Tyler posted FOUR video's this week.... WOAH.
Krisandra Pereira AND TAYLOR HAS UPLOADED ONE... EVEN WOWER
Saturns Rings I.. I. Dont know her/him...
Krisandra Pereira Taylor Nicole Dean.. Tyler talks about her alot
Saturns Rings Oh wait.. I know her.
Saturns Rings Why even bring her up.
I have 4 parakeets and I try to bond with them separately but they would much rather spend time with each other than me which is sad but I learned the hard way
I just got 2 today & so far they are afraid of me..
Parakeets are bird birds. The bigger birds are more prone to bond with you even if you have another bird, but as far as parakeets (budgies) if you have pairs of parakeets ESPECIALLY a group, they will mainly only pay attention to each other.
VICTURI!!! If you get one it will be more with you
Yuri on ice! BEAUTIFUL
Same here I take them out after school but they both hate me so I’m going to get a conure next
Hello Tyler, as a bird owner, African Grey, you did an amazing job on this vlog.
One thing you may want to add is if a person has asthma or any other respiratory issues to know about the dander is higher in some birds than others.
I have asthma and didn't know a cockatoo had a high level of dander. We had to rehome our pair because of the dander. It was a difficult thing to go through.
God's blessings to you and yours, Lin
You can almost eliminate dander by giving them a bath every week
Dude that bird quiz is awesome! It has so much information about each individual bird and I love that it matches you with the perfect one! 😍 definitely sharing this
I have a cockatiel...he was tamed when I bought him from the shop but as soon as I brought him home he was a completely different bird!!!
He was afraid of EVERYTHING even pencils rubbers notebooks his new cage toys etc....

So thankful to have him in my life!!!
Rescuing is the way to go. Not only are you saving a life, but the rescue will already know the personality and temperament of the bird, so it’s easier to find one that fits your lifestyle. My little (loud) sun conure Max is my best friend and makes my life a lot brighter!
Literally just got a budgie 1 hour ago. ILY TYLER YOU"RE THE REASON IM GETTING PET!

we already had mango for president, His name was trump.

i really really want a bird but i live in a small apartment and im in school for 7-8 hours for 5 days, what bird should i get???
Same for me I'm thinking a budgerigar
Get a budgie
I know it's been a year, but no bird. Please don't adopt an animal you won't be able to give proper attention to, especially one that requires as much attention as a bird. Wait until you have more time or get an easier pet.
G. T. Bro he has a lot of time like 7-8 hours if you didn’t know they start school in 6 am so he has a lot of time to take care of the bird

I love the orange and yellow bird on your shoulder
His name is mango and he is a sun conure! Unfortunately he passed away😔
My grandma promised to get me a cockatiel this weekend and i took the quiz and i got a cockatiel! I’m so happy. Also, i came across your video trying to research cockatiel care. thank you
The right bird for me is Mr. Noodle my crazy food driven Amazon and Roberto my mellow Pionus 😁
hooo boy this comment didn’t age well
I’ve seen this guys asshole :(
Aged like milk. Lol
I was planning on getting two cockatiels next week and guess who got cockatiel on the quiz! I'm so exited!!
I remember taking this quiz and i got a scarlet macaw the first time the second time was a blue and gold macaw. I already have a lovebird and im doing a lot of research on a scarlet macaw before getting one. I know a lovebird bird and scarlet are pretty different so im going to do alot of research and make sure i can be able to pay for everything before getting on
I don't want a bird, but this quiz was so fun to take!!
Parrots are great companions but they require almost life long commitment. LOL you basically marry your parrot 😂
And you killed it
Bruh...
Your scary
I got the meyers parrot however I own 2 budgies and I LOVE them!
Tyler you are awesome. I'm in the process of Adopting a rescue bird out
Of Colorado Springs. You are so positive, honest , and helpful. God bless

Thanks to your video I found out a cockatiel is the perfect bird for me! I plan on getting one soon, thank you!
I want a bird without a sharp deadly beak that can take my eye out
Get a. Budgie
Then you can get an eye patch!
Best choice for you would be a stuffed animal
Don't get bit, you can tell when they are mad. It's all in the eyes the pupil gets scary small.
Vrag May I recommend a duck
You should dress mango up as a pumpkin!
I got a Rubia on the quiz!
I really want a bird but I have to switch houses every week and for one week I can pretty much spend the whole week with them but for the other I can only spend an hour and a half a day but I really want them to love me. What bird do you think I should get?
If you're looking for easy birds, here's my experience:
(Cheaper birds: Budgies & Finches, they are cheaper, live shorter, and have a slimmer chance of bonding with it).
(Cuddly birds: Parrotlets, Cockatiels, and Lovebirds! All my personal favorites. Usually these are pretty expensive, but if your looking for a pretty easy bird, that will also bond with you, with a price of course).
If your looking for a beginner level bird, do not adopt/buy a large bird, anything that looks like it belongs in the Rio movie, I suggest you put that off for now. Again these are just my personal experiences! Hope this helps!
By the way I love your videos Tyler 😁
Same, he gives us lots of info
Hi nick😂
is this the nikocado
My first and only birb:Cockateil.
I LOVE him.I like how you can see if he is scared or angry or calm easily.We saved him from an abusive petstore (They would hit the pets,they were forced to close down)I like the "medium" size too.
Dear Tyler. I had a few questions about birds I (my grandpa) has an African Grey and I'm really fond of it but for some reason he won't let me pet him unless I give him my finger and he tests me by biting it not so hard but sometimes he bites so hard that my finger starts bleeding. Is that normal? Anyone else can help as well
Mikyle Noman Sulehri I’m not sure about African Greys, but I know some birds typically stay bonded only with their owner. If you haven’t known the bird for too long, just keep trying to bond with him/her and make sure they feel safe and welcome.
That’s just an African Grey thing. Most African Greys do not enjoy being petted. They like being held, and talked to, and all that but they do not like being petted. The rescue I volunteer at has about 7 Greys and none of them like being petted.
He could just be testing your finger before stepping on because that's what some birds tend to do (I've heard)
Mikyle Noman Sulehri it is normal it means hes just testing your finger as a perch just dont react if he bites you he will just end up disliking you more.
I thought you meant your grandpa was biting you before letting you pet his bird and I was like dude your grandpa is fucked up
I like how no videos I've seen take into account the fact that I'm an aquarium enthusiast and have tanks that aren't covered.
I got blue winged parrotlet on the quiz
I would love if you made a new video carving a pumpkin with mango like you did last year!
Okay how about this? My mom has had many birds in the past, including African Greys. They are very big and loud , messy like she has said and she said when my sister moves out; with our cat we may get a bird! She said I should do research so I am and she said maybe an African grey because they are very entertaining. So now this: my mom is always home with my grandparents and I have to be at school. How would I take care of it while I'm away? And what bird sounds good for us?
Thanks for putting myrightbird.com I have finally been able to convince my mama to get me a cockatiel!!!!! Thanks so much
Ugh I want a bird so bad I just know I couldn’t give it the proper care with my life style so I would never get one. I usually just watch bird videos and dream lol! So cute! Great video.
That bird is beautiful
He passed away but his name was mango and he is a sun conure😔
Mango so chill
I’m not really a beginner I had two birds a couple years ago
Can I just say your bird is beautiful
One thing I keep wondering is, while you said (I think in another video?) that you are at home most of the time and that some species, like the sun conure, need constant attention...do you never go on a trip for the day? Weekend? Vacation? How do you deal with being absent for any prolonged period of time if your birds depend so much on you being there?
Hey I just recently got a sun conure on the 22nd for my birthday and I've been watching sense thene I won't to say thank you for the vids my bird is on my shoulder right now
I go to school and my parents go to work. But I am devoted to spending all of my outer time and effort into them. I’ve been wanting a bird for a while. I’d rather have an easy bird so what should I get? I really want to get a sun conure but, idk if they’re easy.
If you want more than 1 bird but want him/her to bond with you get your favorite out of the bunch, make sure it is summer or winter break so you could bond with it, then get your other bird so when you leave for school, work, etc...., it will bond with you. (I don’t have a bird but I’m planing on getting one, tell me if this is a good idea)
thanks
That quiz can be a good start to get some good info, but do not by any means take it to heart. What I mean is, it can suggest a bird though that doesn't mean that bird is the right one for you. Every bird is a lot of work. Even the budige and sadly these little birds and many other large and small parrots are abused because people do not know what they are getting into! So if your thinking about getting a bird do as much research as possible! And as Tyler said visit birds and get an idea of what your getting into. There isn't a thing as a "quite" bird. The two I personally have while I don't think they are loud, others probably would. Also even my finches while they make really pretty sounds they are going all day so things to keep in mind. Parrots and birds in general are a lot of work and you cannot just keep them in a cage and expect them to be happy (well, finches don't want to be handled lol though they do need a LARGE cage. Even though they are small they require a decent amount of space so they can fly and also you should atleast have finches in pairs.) Hope this has helped someone!
I took the quiz and was paired with a blue-winged parrotlet
How's it going out there animal lovers keep up the great information
How’s life people. Also thanks for this video. It helped me find what birds would be best for me.
If you love the larger conures but not how undeniably loud they are, I'd suggest a Golden Capped conure if they have them up for adoption or even for sale (they tend to be rarer though) as they tend to be quieter. Of course they're still loud and it depends on the individual.
I would suggest any conure from the pyrrhura genus. As they tend to be the quieter conures.
marquise Washington Some people like myself are in love with the more vivid colors of the aratinga genus, and I'd still wouldn't suggest getting a gold capped if you live an apartment, but they do tend to be a lot quieter than their close relatives
Crimson bellied conures, blue throated conures, painted conures, fiery shoulder conures, pearly conures, rosifrons conures, mutations of green cheek conures are all very colorful. If the Aratinga genus wasn't so loud I would love them to death. Especially the jenday and nanday conures.
OMG I'M EARLY, I'M EARLY. BTW HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE!!! ❤
I️ love your videos! You are so knowledgeable of your animals and are very good about doing disclaimers and informing your audience that pets are a commitments and all animals have different needs. It is obvious how much you love and advocate for animals.
You have inspired me to get a ball python. He is a male regular ball python he is still pretty small the moment I saw him I fell in love with him. That day was the first time I held a snake, I was a little nervus and shaky but I feel that I can get used to it. I've been researching about ball pythons as well. I can't wait to get him on christmas, HOPEFULLY he will still be there.
My first bird was a cockatiel, I had 2 of them, but after 1 flew away, and we gave the other one away, we decided on getting a Indian ring neck. Honestly as an experienced bird owner cockatiels are an amazing breed to get and bond with as a beginner.
Helpful vid, dig the vibes
I got the blue fronted Amazon parrot on my test I'm actually happy rn
I got the albino cockatiel! Which is pretty cool because I’ve had my eye on them for a while now
THAT WEBSITE IS SOOO CUTE OMG
I have 2 Fischer’s lovebirds and eventually I want a cockatiel and then maybe a caique because I really love caiques 💞
I have two parakeets, they are the cutest! What funny with them is, they always chatter a lot whenever I'm on the phone and then will be super quiet after I hang up.
I rescued a Blue and gold macaw that is 10 years old and I have a African grey and a cape parrot I love them sooo much and they are so sweet. Also the macaw old owner had him for 10 years and she was moving out with her boyfriend and the mother wasn't gonna take care of him and they brought him back to the store.
Hey dad. This video was very useful. I still have yet to take the quiz but I'll do it later. I had a parakeet for like 5 years but... unfortunately, there was cockroach poison on the floor and he had digested some. He was green and yellow, his name was cashmere. I will forever miss my best friend. 💞💞 He was my one and only. It's been like 5 years since I've last seen him.
My first and only bird is a white bellied caique and I love him
Took the quiz and got an 83% match with cockatiels! They're adorable so I'd love to get one eventually, but I'll have to wait until I have the space and the money for one ❤️
The quiz said that I should get parrolets, and other parakeets and green cheek conures. I am not sure about my answer because Parrolets are difficult to take care of. I have thought about getting one and I did my research with them some time ago. They have a big parrot personality with a small body. They can be fiesty and need training! But maybe I will get one someday. I will see. Thanks for the vid. It helped a lot! Subbed and liked!
Your bird is so cute
The quiz gave me yellow-tailed parrotlet named Rubia. I was like, "NO. BAD IDEA. I AM AT SCHOOL OFTEN, AND THEY ARE MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE, AND MY MOM HATES BIRDS."
Thanks for the Resources
According to this quiz, budnick (the budgie I want) works 87% with my lifestyle. This makes me happy
I took the quiz to see what it said. It said a cocktail is best suited to me, haha I already own one and she is perfect for me that quiz is spot on!!
Very informative! I'm researching getting a pet bird, so every ounce of research helps. Used to raise homing pigeons when I was younger, although pigeons and parrots are very different from each other.
On the quiz I got a Cockatiel which I really want!
Awwww 💛 I took the quiz and it recommended the yellow faced parrotlet and they are so adorableeeee 💛💚
He's so beautiful! 😍😍😍 love your video!
I own a sun conure they are very loud but gentle. I recommend getting them as a baby so they bond with you and get very used to you. It was my first bird and it is a great beginner bird. Sun conures in my opinion are the best birds in all the parrots. Cockatoos are good but need a lot of attention and develop really bad behaviours. African greys are extremely mean and hate attention. And Macaws have a hell of a bite.
Omg I’m early!! Love you Tyler
i took the quiz and the bird best for me is a budnick budgerigar parakeet. that’s fitting for me honestly
aha I took the quiz twice & got a cockatiel and a pacific parrotlet but I just got two white faced violet lovebirds today;)) love them to death already and I got them hand fed,, definitely looking forward to training them a bunch
Wow that test is really accurate I was going to get a bird named rex and it was
YESYESYESYES I STUDIED SO HARD ALL NIGHT FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT AND IM GETTING A BUDGIE THIS CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
I did the quiz, very awesome! I did the quiz 2x and i got the same bird. I think am ready for my first ever bird
