Budgies make great pets,
Is that what you are after a smaller bird? If so there are some others you could consider.
Bourkes ~ Very friendly, not nippy at all quiet but have loads of character
Lineolated ~ Friendly funny not noisey at all and again full of character.

That sounds great, are they hand tame, do they talk, how many are there?
Sorry about all the questions I'm just interested.

I had a budgie for 14 years that just died 4 or so years ago. He was found by my 4th grade teacher and won by me in a raffle we had in class. He never jumped on my finger or anything like that, but I was sooo ignorant when it came to keeping a pet bird. When I just got new brown-headed parrot, I walked in saying I needed a bird that would stay on my finger cause my budgie wouldnt. I say it is a gamble with a bird that small, but that may just be my ignorance again.
With Birds, of all shapes and sizes they need work, if you work with a bird he will learn to trust and love you, the bird will get onto the finger. You show them love they will show you love right back.1ststatestereo the nice thing about this site is that we all have our own opinions about things and no one is gonna knock you for them. Do you still have your brown head, how about showing us some pictures, they are such pretty birds and we don't get to see that many here.

my thought is that cockatiels make better pets as far as small pet parrots go but budgies are still sweet little thing and if you like them go for it. I would be making sure this is really what you want though because your decision does not only affect you.

Kind of..... I'd just rather get them as a last resort before they had to go to a rescue.
If thats a last resort I think you should forget them, and find a bird that you really want. Unfortunately we can't rescue every bird. The best thing you could do is to sit down and decide what bird you really want, do research and then start looking for that bird. There is a lot to take into consideration with any bird.
Please do think carefully and make sure you have decided on the right bird.
My daughter really wants a Cockatoo one day, but at the moment we have neighbours close by, and boy they can make some noise when they want to. She really doesn't have the time to dedicate to a larger bird so she is researching all she can now, for hopefully the future.

I found this site on the net
http://www.pet-parrots.com.
It has lots of information on parrots and the species.
