I'm having a really hard time on deciding what parrot breed/species is a good fit for my lifestyle. Well I guess I should start with an introduction! My name is Halle and I'm 17 years old. I'm planning on getting a parrot as a companion for the apartment I'm moving into after graduation! I have always loved animals especially birds and that's become even more important because of my nana's passing. She always loved birds and I feel like having a feathery companion would be a good way to honor her. I've been doing a lot of reading and I know for sure that I don't really want a bird that is going to be really loud. I'm alright with the chatter and occasional screech but I think I'll go insane with a screaming bird! One thing I do want, it to have a bird that will cuddle and play with me. I'd like to have a parrot that I can take out and just have them perched on my shoulder. As for size, I'd prefer a bird that's smaller than a large conure. I think that I really just want a parrot that's on the less vocal side but has a playful and cuddly kind of personality. That's what I'm looking for, any recommendations??
