| Anyone have a pet bird? I'm debating between a parrotlet and green cheek conure. Anyone have either (or type of bird, really)? |

| I have 5 cockatiels and 4 budgies. lol Both parrotlets and GCCs are great birds! Parrotlets need huge cages for their size. They are very active little things. The GCCs have such sweet personalities. This post was a lot of help, huh? lol

I wish I could get both so then I wouldn't have to decide between the two, haha. | |

| Actually that is incorrect and a common misconception. One lovebird is just fine and makes an excellent pet.

| Really, see I didn't know much about birds, so Im glad that I didn't go along with it. I want an animal that I can play with. So Dogs are great for me. |

| We had a Nanday Conure for years and he was a little monster. I loved him to death but he had his moments. He used to love to wake the house up as soon as it was light outside and he terrorized our poor beagle. He even attacked a cop we had invited in. I can't say he was displaying Nanday traits because he was badly abused by a previous owner so who knows how far that might have warped him. |
