Pet Parrots Recommended For Bird Beginners

By Sally Jensen


Did you know that pet parrots are totally amazing creatures. They are beautiful to look at, and often pleasing to listen to. They are sociable creatures and hardy. They are quite clever, too. But parrots can also require an incredible amount of work.

Owners of parrots not prepared for this will receive quite a shock once they realize just how much time they have to put into caring for their parrots. That's why it's important if you're a newcomer to pet birds to choose one of the best parrots for beginners.

Fortunately, there are many parrot types that are perfect for novice pet owners. Unlike more demanding varieties, these pet parrots don't require as much attention from their owners.

Parakeets, though, are hardy little birds that are fairly affordable. And while they, too, are personable and clever, they do not demand nearly as much time and energy as do the larger, more exotic species of parrots. It's why parakeets consistently rank as one of the best parrots for beginners.

The best way to find the right parrot for you is to do some preliminary research before you hit the pet stores. Fortunately, the Internet is filled with good information on the wide variety of pet parrots available today.

By doing some online research, you'll discover that the common parakeet is one of the best parrots for beginners. These little birds are hardy, affordable and smart. They're not overly noisy. And they don't require nearly as much attention as do some of the more exotic parrot species available.

You'll also discover that the Senegal parrot, a South African species, is another good parrot for beginners. This bird is stunning to look at it, with its grey head, green back and wings and yellow-orange undersides.

The Senegal Parrot birds are also quite affectionate, and are some of the quieter parrots on the market. They're also quite smart, but not too smart to be a burden.

Shopping for a parrot can seem overwhelming, especially if you've never owned a pet bird before. But if you do the research beforehand, the odds are good that you'll buy a pet parrot that's perfect for your own experience level.
