Question: advice on my bird situation please?
( Back )
Answer #1:
Perhaps you should start with a parakeet, well affordable, need little care and some will sing and some will talk.
Answer #2:
Work on your own intelligence level before worrying about the birds, please. You'll need to be able to form a complete sentence before trying to train a smart bird such as a quaker.
Answer #3:
ok i would advise the parakeet but if you dont like the idea get the baby teil they are smart and easy to train...esp. as a baby...dont get the adult parrot becuz adults are hard to train...i hope i helped...if you need any more help...you can email me...
best of luck!!
Answer #4:
Okay, it doesn't seem like you have done much research on either bird. You need to research the care of Quaker parrots, and the care of cockatiels. You need to know which one will suit you best, and which personality of bird you would enjoy the most. You don't want to buy a bird and then later decide that the bird is too loud, too much to handle etc. You say you already have a parakeet. A cockatiel is a good choice for a beginner bird, they are easier to care for and cost a lot less. They are also known for being very mellow and friendly birds. Cockatiels are definitely a bird I recommend to anyone looking into birds. However, if you do research on Quakers and find that you like them best, and are willing to properly care for their needs then you could buy a Quaker. Like I said, get to know both types of birds before looking into actually buying one, please.
Both species of birds are intelligent in general. Quakers are apt to learning more tricks however, and yes, some may consider them more intelligent than a cockatiel. Cockatiels can learn some tricks, and some can talk, but usually they are known for their singing voices and ability to mimic.
