Birds make fantastic pets. They are much cheaper to feed and maintain than cats and dogs and they have very likeable personalities too.
Many different species of parrots can be trained to speak and do amazing tricks. They are also very affectionate animals.
There are many different birds now available for pets. Some are much easier to keep, like budgies and cockatiels and others can be quite difficult like some of the larger parrots and speciality finches.
Before you purchase your pet, make sure that you understand what its needs are. The cage is the most expensive item you can purchase for your bird and if it is not right, you may be looking at buying another. Make sure that it is the right size - not too big or too small. Make sure that the distance between the bars is not too big that your pet can fit through too. Also make sure the feeder coups or cups are easy to remove and clean; and replace - many cages sit empty in garages because the feeders are not replaceable.
Budgies are probably the easiest and cheapest of all the birds. They are also full of personality and spunk and will be a wonderful addition to any household. They are cheap to buy and would only cost a few dollars a month to keep.
Also make sure that you understand what the lifespan of your new pet bird will be. Many people don't realise this and end up facing pet bills for many years longer than they expected. And unlike, cats and dogs it is difficult to re-home many pet birds at professional shelters.
