Well, besides my 7 dogs, I have 10 parrots. We have a blue and gold macaw, 2 african greys, a quaker, greencheek conure, an indian ringneck and 4 parrotlets.
since I have 4, my parrotlets are very noisey!! Mine are not tame since they are in pairs, and can be very nippy. My niece has one of my babies I handfed, though, and he is very bonded to her and is learning to say a few words.
My macaw and one of my greys are my talkers, they say quite a bit. Also the grey barks, screams like a macaw(that one is fun,lol) beeps like the microwave, the list goes on and on
Birds can make good pets, but they do need lots of attention to stay tame, I know I enjoy mine alot though, so its worth it.
