Small Birds

Small Birds are great pets for new owners. I recommend them if your just starting out becoming a new bird owner. Parakeets are a delight and are very social birds, but make sure you purchase from a reputable breeder so you can handle and form a bond with your pet.

The smaller birds are more affordable. Parakeets can be talkers and they have a fun personality, they are sometimes overlooked as being a popular choice for a pet, they make great companions, due to their gentle nature. I had several parakeets in different colors,and they entertained our family and we enjoyed watching and listening to them.

Finches, the most adorable little birds,they are so lively and fast, they are little comedians,and are social and do well in groups of two or more, they have constant chatter.

The cage you purchase for your finches should have room for them to spread their wings. My Grandmother had beautiful Finches in a indoor Aviary, which they enjoyed because finches do not climb for exercise they fly. Finches come in different colors so do your research, and these are the perfect pet for someone who works or cannot spend a lot of time with them,they prefer not to be handled,but are wonderful to watch.

Canaries are beautiful singing birds and prefer not to be handled. When you purchase a Canary and you want one that sings make sure it is a male, female canaries do not sing, and canaries are really Finches and come in different colors, some are brown, green and yellow. They have a beautiful songs to sing and fun to watch.

I had a canary and enjoyed the vocal songs he would sing, and our family and friends enjoyed his antics. They make a great pet. Lovebirds are my favorite pet, because if you purchase only one they become very close to you,only if you spend the time with them. If you have one lovebird you cant put him in the cage and forget about him, your pet will become lonely, they are very playful and entertaining, and need attention. If you enjoy the lovebird species and do not have the time to socialize with your pet, I recommend getting two of them, even when there is two, they are fun to watch.

My peach faced Lovebird and I developed a close bond, he would sit on my shoulder while I worked on the computer and enjoyed the social time. This species of lovebirds, is usually gentle and likes being handled,and can learn a few words. They are active need the attention and have easy going personality's.

The lovebird comes in different colors, but purchase from a Breeder, do your research and last, find a good Avian veterinarian, enjoy your pet for years to come.

The best thing about small birds is you can enjoy them in apartment living,the price is affordable,and they become part of your family. The cage they live in is just as important, make sure it is the right size and easy to keep clean, and made from quality material, toys are also good for exercise and entertainment, remember your pet is part of your family.
