What Kind Of Pet Bird(s) Do You Own And Why?
I lost my budgie recently and would like to have another bird. I’m just not sure what kind. I am looking for other options. Any suggestions?
Note: I need a bird that would be good with children and other pets.

I have 4 birds. I have Simon, a peachfaced lovebird, Mojo a quaker, Piper a pied cockatiel, and Kilo, and umbrella cockatoo. My suggestion to you would be to get something on the smaller side such as a cockateil. They are great family pets, and are usually fine with other animals and children. Lovebirds tend to bond to one person and may become aggressive to the kids if you are with them and not it. Quakers can go both ways. Some times they are nasty, other times they may not mind the kids or animals. Please dont get a cockatoo. They are awesome parrots but if you already have kids, and other animals, you wont have enough time for it which could cause many problems for the bird. So, finally, i guess my answer is to stick with a cockatiel. Conures are even great birds for a family. Possibly a blue crown conure? They are a small to med. size bird that , from my experience, is ok with kids and pets. Good luck and have fun with whatever you decide to get!!!!!!
um the best is a ring neck dove thereare the best i have a kid whose 5 and it’s good with her so it’s the pefect pet
We have a Quaker Parrot (parrakeet). She is the coolest pet ever. We have had her since she was young, she was still being handfed once a day. We have an excellent bond with her. She is about 5 months old and talks alreay. She says “Madinah(her name), Hi, I love you, gives kisses and makes kissy sounds” We have a four year old and she is good with him, she doesnt really bite, she tastes us. We actually want to get another one. And we got her from Petsmart. There is a quaker parrot forum- quakerparrot.com, i think. they have tons of knowledgeable people and give great advice. Good luck and sorry about your loss.
