Hi guys
I'm in a bit of a dilemma as to which species to go for, either the Indian ringneck or a cockatiel.
I really like the idea of the IRN due to it's nice size, colouration. However I have heard these birds can be difficult to train and rather like to sit on their perch than be handled.
The cockatiel well I really like the pied variety, they are cheaper in terms of overall cost etc and they seem easier to tame. However I have heard they are significantly messy and get really dusty during certain times.
So I'm really not sure, would like to hear your opinions as which bird is most suitable.
Note: I have not owned a parrot before, however I know quite alot about them and have cared for some in the past.
