so something was bough to my attention the other day. what is the most common companion parrot in australia?
i have tried to put as many options as possible in the poll. ill add an "other" section for the ones i miss.

Poll should read something a little closer to....

1. Macaws
2. Amazons
3. Psittacula (Asiatic Ringnecks)
4. Eclectus
5. African Greys
6. Australian Parakeets (Budgies, Cockatiels, Grass Keets, Rosellas, Ringnecks, etc)
7. Conures
8. Lorikeets
9. Cockatoos
10. other (Poicephalus, Softbills, Lovebirds, etc)

I know that softbills, parakeets, cockatoos, eclectus, psittacula and conures are pretty commonly kept in Australia. Macaws, amazons and greys don't seem to be quite as common (from what I've seen) - probably more so due to price and availability than anything else.

If you are an Australian though, feel free to say otherwise!

or it could read something like this:
Big Scary Birds
Little Scary Birds
Stuffed Birds

We're in Australia? Well now your poll results are skewed. Ha!

Go "other"! Yayy!
