What species were they, which was your favorite, and why?
:red:
:red:
i currently own cockatiels and peach faced lovebirds and have owned a budgie in the past (he passed away).
cockatiels are my favourites for the cuddle factor, the more even-tempered factor and they are much LESS complicated than lovebirds lol
(i love my goofy lovebirds though, they never read this post )
Oh, goodness. Let's see, through the years I've had Budgies, Cockatiels, Red Fronted Kakarikis, Gold Mantled Rosellas, Blue Streaked Lories, Violet Naped Lories, Mitred Conures, Sun Conure, Black Headed Caique, Cuban Amazons, Vinaceous Amazons. Every one of them was special to me in their own unique way, there is no way to pick a favorite for me. If I was forced to choose, I would go with the Blue Streaked Lories: their cunning, conniving commitment to commit mayhem and the obvious enjoyment they received from committing it was just too fun to watch.
Budgies, cockatiels, bourkes, a turquoisine, peach face lovebird, cherry headed conure and mitred conure.
My favorite of the "little birds" would be the cockatiels... but only because my first tiel was hand raised and she's a sweety! (a brat, too!) I've had her since she was 5 months old and she'll be 12 this year! Bourkes would be a close second since they are such unique little creatures!
Of the larger, I'd go with cherry head. My cherry head was a special needs bird, and he had a place in my heart. He was never "right", but he was my special guy. I miss having a cherry head. I do love my "my-turd", but cherry heads will always have a special place in my heart.
Finches - Gouldians, Cordon Bleus, Waxbills, Zebras, Java Rice, Shaft-tails, Orange Bishops, & Society's
Canaries
Cockateil
Conures - Sun, Blue Crown, Jenday, Dusky, & Green Cheek
Amazon Parrots - Pacific Parrotlet & Mealy Parrot
Senegal Parrot
Goffin Cockatoo
Macaws - Green Wing & Military
They all have their own uniqueness, even the little soft bills.
I like the Macaws the best. Personalities, beauty, easier to care for , etc ....
I have greys and a sennie, and I have to say that between them I think I like my sennie best. Less mess and less destructive, but still cuddly when she wants to be. The greys are great, but they're not MY dream bird but my husbands. I want the cuddly macaw that trashes the house and demands all my time... Not exactly like my sennie but than who is? ;p
OMG, here's what I have had so far, Zebra Finches, American Parakeets, English Budgies, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Conures, Macaw, Cockatoos, Black Lory, Red Fronted Kakariki, Canaries, Eclectus, and Senegal. My favorite would have to be the Cockatiels although I loved them all except the conures.
I've never owned a macaw. We did have a goffin cockatoo before though. What makes you say macaws are easier to care for?
That's very interesting that you prefer your cockatiels over the big birds. Why is that?
