I asked in general questions, but wanted to ask here as well.
We are trying to decide between a green cheek conure and a cockatiel for my son. He is absolutely obsessed with birds.
He has read books about conures and cockatiels and has narrowed his choice to these two.
This will be mainly his bird (but also a family pet as I don't work so I'll be home with him/her all day).
We want an intelligent and interesting bird.
I am concerned with the potential aggressive nature of the conure (as I've read about on this website) esp during 'puberty'.
Are cockatiels intersting birds? Do any of you have both species, and if so, how do they compare?
