  • Doctor Hess: So, what are the best bird pets for beginners? People who've never had birds

  • before.

  • Well, definitely the best birds not to get when you've just started out with birds are

  • large birds, like Macaws. Even Cockatoos or African Greys.

  • It's very tempting to get those birds because they're phenomenal. They're smart. They talk.

  • They're very interactive. But, they really require quite a bit of care.

  • So, we usually recommend that you start out with something a little smaller. Maybe a Parakeet,

  • a Budgerigar or a Cockatiel.

  • If you want something a little bit bigger you could consider a medium sized parrot.

  • Maybe a Conure or a Caique. I don't know. What would you say, Sarah?

  • Sarah: I would say that birds this size are about among the best for beginners. While

  • these guys can be a little louder than a Parakeet or a Cockatiel, they're also very smart and

  • playful.

  • When I think that a lot of times what people are looking for when they want to get a bird,

  • they want that bird that's going to bond with them. That's going to play with them.

  • And a lot of these smaller birds are very smart. They can learn tricks. They can do

  • different behaviors and you can really work with them. And I think it's a good opportunity

  • for people to learn how to work behaviorally with a bird if you get a smaller one. And

  • then, when they're ready they can move on to the bigger birds.

  • Doctor Hess: Yeah. Good things come in small packages. You know, birds don't have to be

  • huge to be fun and interactive. They're a little less intimidating when they're small.

  • I think people do develop a comfort level with little birds.

  • And when they're ready they can even move up and have more than one bird.

  • But, please, please don't rush out as your first bird and get a big, big Macaw. I think

  • that you'll be disappointed and that it may be a little more than you expect. And that

  • bird will live with you then for another 30, 40 years.

  • And, until you're sure you're really a bird person, maybe it's best to start with something

  • a little smaller.
