My Congo African Gray turns 34 this year. I've had him for 28 years and to say he's been a handful, is an understatement. Not until I retired five years ago and was able to devote most of my time to him did he finally come around and accept me as a member of his flock. Wouldn't recommend getting one unless you have a lot of time on your hands and are willing to put up with a lot of biting (had a lot of stitches and deep puncture wounds on hands, feet and face). I got mine when he was 6 years old for only $600 and he brought all of his baggage from the previous three owners he had, while locally the only ones I've seen near me, they are asking $7500 for a less than 1 year old one while the other that is 35 years old, they are asking $3500 so they aren't cheap nowadays (depending on where you live I guess).
My African gray lived for 30 years and she was as smart as a dog. And understood a lot as cracking an egg to fry said.. murf want egg.. and only then did she say it plus many other phrases. Boy do I miss her.
Cockatiels are easy to train. Yet they need to take some time to recognize the sounds that the other birds make. They also need a bigger cage to have exercise and spaces and you should also give them toys! You gotta bond with them too because they are playful, smart and a singer too 😅 I feel like Cockatiels are great for beginners 😁
We have 3 bird species, parrotlets, cute Indian ringneck are stunning and my favorite the half moon conure. He is funny he always wants to be with me and is so happy to see me when I get home.
My African grey comes out from his cage at 7am an goes back in his cage at 7pm I wouldn't recommend one for someone who hasn't got a lot of time . I got him at 12 weeks old he now 5 he can be a handful sometimes but also very loving an talks quite a lot. But a warning if you let your parrot out all day like I do keep your eyes on him they love to destroy anything and everything furniture. Curtains television remote 😂 wouldn't have him any other way ❤
I bought a indian ringneck by paying just 6 dollars and it was very stressed and plucking it's feathers but now it is very happy and love to play with my cockatiel
I wish the price of these birds that you roughly estimate were really true here in Massachusetts the price for each bird you listed people charge triple it makes me so sad knowing how much money that goes into their care and vet and long-term care my dream is to own a parrot one day I have lots of lovebirds Fischers but my dream is to own a ringneck parrot since I was a child but the prices are extremely outrageous I don't think I probably would be able to buy one or adopt
@@debbiesummers5904 they said “I have lots of birds lovebirds Fischer BUT MY DREAM…” are pep not allowed to like and own other birds that are not their first choice? Building skills and a flock is common.
Do parakeets - which I have for 30 years - go well with the parrotlets Moluccan King Parrot + Mustache parakeets + Eclectic parrot ? I want to create a big aviary for children and I would like to have different species that get along well and are entertaining for adults as well as children. So they must be safe
This video had a lot of wrong information for anyone wanting a "beginner" bird. There really isn't such a thing as a beginner bird since almost every single bird needs a large cage, socialization, time outside a cage and a well balanced diet. Also not every bird is guaranteed to learn how to mimic speech, working at a bird store and being around birds for over 7+ years I've met a ton of birds that are known for speaking never say a word. Even from personal experience, I own a Bourke Parakeet which are not known to speak and mine does say a couple words. Just many things in the video that should have been mentioned to the viewers. For Instance, I would never recommend getting half of the species that were listed in this video. Eclectus Parrots which yes have an amazing vocabulary do need constant attention and need to have a special diet of pellets and fresh fruits and veggies daily. Also budgies and parrotlets DO need a large cage, lots of toys and have to be taken out of their cage. Just because the bird is small doesn't mean you get it a tiny cage. Additionally, Amazons, African Greys, Conures, and Hahn's Macaws would never be a good choice for someone that doesn't do research on what they are getting into. There are many different species of conures that people would need to research on to see which is a good fit for their lifestyle not just the color. Sun Conures, Jendays, Nandays, Gold-Caps, etc are known to be the loudest of the conures where the green cheeks, crimson bellies, etc are known to be a quieter conure. If someone is really interested in a bird then they should do research on a species of bird that fit their lifestyle not for the speaking ability. Also the cost of birds did go up, so finding these prices would be hard. I've seen larger birds going for $3k and up especially birds such as Amazons, Macaws and Cockatoos.
I agree with this 100%, beginner bird is not a thing, you either "sacrifice" a LOT of time to your bird friend or you don't get a bird. Your bird should be number 1 on your daily priority list. You are their connection to the world. You're their captor, parent and friend, trainer and playmate, caretaker and love giver. If you don't take it seriously the animal you decided to buy suffers. Its selfish and wrong. That being said, if you're willing to put in all this time, effort and love into your pet you will most likely have the best time ever. The amount of love and laughs I get from my bird mean the world to me. For me, its all been worth it, my bird makes me smile, always, he can be a little annoying toddler too though. Its still cute and I can steer him out of that. Just realise that once you get a bird you should consider them in decisions you make. Long holiday far away? Probably not a great idea. Spontaneous weekend away? Who's taking care of your bird. Oh and consider the mess and noise.
P.s. my lovebird speaks, not as clear as a lot of these species of course. But he says pretty boy, good boy, daddies boy, makes kiss noises, says cute / sweet (it's one word in Dutch) and combines its haha. E.g. "Happy (his name) pretty good boyyy", "daddy good boy" Sometimes it's more clear than others because he sometimes puts more effort into it. But people who know him hear it every time. It's funny, never expected him to try or be able to speak, they aren't known to talk. But those are his favourite expressions and he made it a mission to try. Understands the meaning too, says the word for cute/sweet after giving a kiss for example, makes kiss noise when he comes in for a smooch. Calls himself a good boy when he sees his favourite treat and gestures towards it to show me he wants and deserves it. They can communicate without words too, so every reader worried about having a bird that doesn't speak, you will learn everything about them when you spend the time and effort. I know he's going to poop before he does, I know he's going to fly towards his water fountain in 2 seconds. There are minute signs that you will learn but probably can't write down. Others are clear as day. It's fun and rewarding to bond with them, but it's not for everyone, you HAVE to spend the time.
@@danielh12345I have bred birds for 35 years and I still love to hear stories like this. I have heard the love, the excitement, the comfort people get from their birds over and over and it still brings a smile when I hear someone express the love they found in a little ball of feathers. I was blessed to have spent my life raising birds and putting that little ball of feathers into the hands of their future parents. I knew their lives would change at that moment. I hand raised my babies so I had weeks to get to know the new parents. It has been 7 years since my last baby. To this day I get about 10 to 15 texts a day telling me something new or wonderful that a bird did that day. I get picture after picture of smiling faces holding their balls of feather.
That's all very good advice . We have had parrots for 34 years & agree. However, before researching bird species, research yourself. What is your lifestyle & will you have time to socialize with the bird. Are you looking down the road with a long lived species. If not, get a budgie, cockatiel or parrotlet. The smaller the bird, the lower the lifespan. DO NOT expect your husband/wife to be on board. If they resist the idea, reconsider. Do you have children, dogs, cats? All 3 can be detrimental to parrots. I have seen children & parrots with a wonderful bond, but then child gets different priorities & the bird feels abandoned. If a cat gets 1 claw into the flesh of a bird, it must be treated immediately as the bacteria load can be fatal. NOW, do research into species, talk to parrot keepers & don't ignore the stereotypes, (oh. African Gray's are neurotic pluckers) but also don't give those stereotypes more credence than they deserve. Oh, those Conures are loud. None of our 3 types of Conures were loud. However, loudness can be a symptom of them not getting enough attention, Make sure you have support. A friend, neighbor, bird store that hotels parrots. You WILL need them someday. Of the 12 parrots we have had, only 3 were very young. Consider adopting an older bird. It may take time for the adjustment but is very rewarding turning a scared, unsocialised & untamed bird into a loving & loyal pet. Research well.

I want to buy my first talking parrot i really want a cocktaile parrot the one that has a yellow top but i cant afford to buy a big cage is it a problem if the cage is small or if i take the bird out of the cage rarly or often? And could i get some recomandations cause i dont know what to chose a smart singing fun parrot would be somthing im looking for someone will find out a parrot like that and tell me theyr name in the comments
Depending of where you live, I suppose prices vary greatly. Here in portugal, they are still quite on the cheap side. You can find African grey for 750, Ara for 1200....
Whatever you do, never buy a single bird, always get at least a pair of male and female. And always prefer adopting a bird over buying one. And if you decide to get them from a shelter, if possible, visit them on several days to see if their personalities suit you. Let the birds choose you rather than the other way around. That way you'll both be happy for hopefully a long time. Oh and don't forget parrots can get really old, they are often a lifetime commitment.
@@rosesanford3015It's not about babies, parrots can grow really old, especially in captivity. Sometimes over 100 years. So make sure it's not only about YOU and your love of parrots, make sure that when you die, your parrots have a loving home.

Ring necks aren't *that* bad. But I totally agree with amazons and african greys. What the heck was this person thinking?! I just hope that anyone in the market for a bird reads the comments after watching the video.
My first bird Is IDN from 4m now 12m I train him talk pickapoo/Come here/ what happened. Also take spray bath with dance swing/ last new day done training throw the toilet pare core pick up and returned to my hand/ and beep beep walking follow my step like adog. I think I am lucky feel like this bird smart and quite active but a bit scare to new thing. The bird look female but The play Dance very like Male dating muscle up the Wings. Because no Ring yet So I don’t know the gender until now.
@@englishsimple1052 Asia is cheapest and best for them i believe but north america is highway robbery out here with ring neck parrots and other species although i guess you have to say their worth it if you can get them to talk since they are clearer than most if not al other parrot species pretty sure.
To recommend an African Grey as a beginner bird, and not include cockatiels? Some of the other recommendations weren't really for beginners, either. No way would I follow this channel for any advice. 😮
We also suggest you a pterodactyl as your first parrot. They have such a funny personality and if you wrong want to be eaten alive click on the link in description

Budgies should live 10 years minimum!! Of they die at 5 years you are not taking care of them properly. Some of mine are nealy 14 years old and going strong.
Why are you recommending endangered parrots like Hanh’s macaw and Amazon parrots? That seems so irresponsible. All parrots require a lot of attention and care. They are noisy and messy, be prepared to clean up all day long.
There are no "beginner" birds, and if you are looking at a cheap price, please do not get a bird. All birds need big cages, lots of toys, stimulation, flight opportunities, and attention. This video is yeesh.
I got a budgie as my first and we be rollin down friendship lane. Talk about all those other ones AMAZON IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD FIRST BIRD *and all the other few that are actually horrid first birds*
@@sillysyndromekidI heard that the mealy Amazon is not a bad beginner parrot, but obviously you need to know what you’re doing because of the size, but I’ve heard they are way more tame than other amazons
Mynah birds are the best. I have a hill mynah and common mynah. They need a big aviary though. Mind you all my birds are in large flights or avaries. It's cruel to keep a bird in a small cage or clip it's wings.
I raised English budgies for 9 years. They are basically the same as a regular parakeet, but larger and cost more. They are popular show birds, that originated in England. I had no trouble selling the violet colored ones to private homes for pets.

You should get 2 or more. They are miserable if kept alone. They are very social birds.
Why are you recommending endangered parrots like Hanh’s macaw and Amazon parrots? That seems so irresponsible. All parrots require a lot of attention and care. They are noisy and messy, be prepared to clean up all day long.
You should do your homework
The price range is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuyyyy off..

Best beginner birds and you give an African gray? This is not a reliable source.
There are no "beginner" birds, and if you are looking at a cheap price, please do not get a bird. All birds need big cages, lots of toys, stimulation, flight opportunities, and attention. This video is yeesh.
There are no beginner birds! Your video is fiction.
all bird need space and toys its same with budgies ANDD BUDGIES ARE NOT PETS FOR BEGINERS
That's not true. Budgies are a very good introduction to the bird world and make a very good bird for someone who has never owned a bird before
I got a budgie as my first and we be rollin down friendship lane. Talk about all those other ones AMAZON IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD FIRST BIRD *and all the other few that are actually horrid first birds*
@@sillysyndromekidI heard that the mealy Amazon is not a bad beginner parrot, but obviously you need to know what you’re doing because of the size, but I’ve heard they are way more tame than other amazons
@@AidenBrown429 For real?! Thats so cool, actually!
Having kept many types of birds I can assure you budgies are the best parrot for beginners by far
Mynah birds are the best. I have a hill mynah and common mynah. They need a big aviary though. Mind you all my birds are in large flights or avaries. It's cruel to keep a bird in a small cage or clip it's wings.
All birds need lots of space. Stupid commentary.
Lol my budgie was 150$
I raised English budgies for 9 years. They are basically the same as a regular parakeet, but larger and cost more. They are popular show birds, that originated in England.
I had no trouble selling the violet colored ones to private homes for pets.
This video promotes the suffering of parrots and macaws. They are not pets, you are being very irresponsible.
