LITERALLY A BIRD
Sep 27, 2008

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

You could pick up a cockatiel for under $100. They are good starter birbs, lower maintenance than most parrots and generally not as bright but very sweet and affectionate. A lot of the qualities people enjoy in dogs are present in birds: a (mostly) chill, loyal, affectionate buddy that can learn tricks and just wants to hang out with you. Downsides include the noise (sometimes bird just wanna scream), the mess (you can potty-train parrots but not all of them are receptive), and the need for a specialty vet. You also need to be able to spend at least two - three hours a day with your bird so they don't just sit around in their cage all day depressed and bored.

I'm sure some other birdpeople will come in and add some more but there's a start!!
