So I have been asked by a friend what bird should they get. I can't think of any bird that fits their needs and wants.
They want a bird that is
1). A velcro bird that loves to snuggle and hang out with them for hours while they are at computer/watching TV
2.) Not too noisy as their child is noise sensitive. Quakers are much too loud for them. Can just tolerate our GCC
3.) Not too bitey like a conure as they want their 4 yr old to be able to handle it
4.) Willing to interact with everyone
5.) Not too messy say like a Lorie
As far as I can work it out their most suitable bird is a cat so I would appreciate many and varied opinions.
Maybe there is a suitable bird that fills all the requirements that I haven't considered. I thought 'tiel but they aren't too snuggly. Lovies are snuggly and not too noisy but tend to bond to one and can be biters.
Before I tell them to not get a bird until their child is older I thought I'd see if any of the more exp'd folks here had suggestions.
