Starts off video well then starts throwing advanced level birds at you Macaws, African Greys, Cockatoos are no where near beginner level. Budgies, Cockatiels, Parakeets are much easier to have and care for.
I have a tortoiseshell cat. It follows me around, and tries her hardest to come to school with me. She comes to me for food and water and to play. I named her loaf because of the thing 99% of cats do. Be a loaf
Conures are loud as hell, especially sun conures that are shown. Finchs are terrible pets, you cant play with them and if you can its rare as hell Macaw is a horrible choice for a first bird, one of the most demanding birds to own because of food and housing plus toys Cockatoo is basically the same as a macaw just the australian version in terms of care. African grey is probably the worst bird to start with, being that its the smartest parrot in the world, needs constant attention, can learn to open cage and has demanding food requirements this is a horrible first choice Eclectus parrot is probably the easiest of all these larger parrots. I own a male eclectus (also have a conure and moustache parrot) eclectus should be on a 90% fruit diet, avoid seeds, needs a large cage but is genuinely a really friends easy going bird. The females can get aggressive though because they mate year round. Quaker parrots in my experience have all been a pain and super bitey. Summary: the three best beginning options are budgie, cockatiel and love bird aka peach face. All birds should have a mix of fruit and veg for most meals with seed as maybe every 4th meal, i feed my boys twice a day.
I have 2 Quakers. My 1st Quaker was 2 when I adopted him. He has phases when he bites. Sometimes when hormonal, but mostly when I touch anything he found and then it is his. He is a smart, snuggly, talking bird most of the time. My 2nd Quaker is only 6 months, I had him 2 months. He steps up and is a relaxed bird and likes to snuggle on my knock. I had an Panama Amazon decades ago and also was a wonderful bird.
I’ve never owned birds before besides chickens and even I know this list is whack. Not taking advice from someone who don’t even know the difference between cockatoos and cockatiels.
African greys and macaws are absolutely NOT beginner birds. In fact very few birds should be considered "beginner". Owning a bird is really unlike owning any other pet, they require a very different level of interaction, care, and patience. At the same time bonding with them and forming a great relationship is extremely rewarding and why so many bird owners never stop talking about their bird haha. If you are beginner, stick with a parakeet (budgie), cockatiel, green cheek conure, or lovebird. But please know what you are signing up for! They will be loud and so many birds get rehomed because of this.
Do you have any Suggestions in resources for learning much more about raising birds as pets specifically “starter” birds like the ones you recommend. There is so much info and a lot contradictory so having a hard time choosing a book or blog er. I am somebody who has never owned a bird and a knows relatively nothing about it, but would like to? I’ve always wanted a bird since I was a kid but knew I wasn’t ready. I am not late 30’s so I’m pretty sure this is as good as I get lol I want to make sure I am very well informed though as I would never want to just try it out rehome or hurt an animal. Thank you so much!
@lysascott flying fids, fives a flock with coro, and bird tricks are all GREAT youtube channels to find information. Flying fids really teaches you a lot of important things like weaning parrots onto a pellet and vegetable diet, how to gain trust with your bird, understanding their body language, etc. Fives a flock with coro gives some really good suggestions on beginner birds you may not have initially considered like a Bronze winged pionus and other types of parrots. And then bird tricks has great information on basically everything. She is a trained professional and really dives deep in how to positively reinforce good behavior which can be especially important when your bird is going through its "teen phase" lol. All great places to start. If there's a specific topic you need to know about just type it in the search bar with one of those channel names in their and you should be able to find what you are looking for. I hope this helps and if you have any others questions I would love to help as well! ☺️
Thanks for saving me the misinformation. This video is terrible. Coming from keeping boa constrictors it was obvious to me this video was trash by the fourth bird. The narrator literally uses the same description for every bird in the video.
Beginner birds are birds that you first get to help you slowly graduate to harder ones by getting you used to bird care slowly !There's been alot of misunderstanding
this is a disgustingly uneducated video. how dare you say macaws, cockatoos and african greys are easy birds for beginners. do some research before releasing horrible content like this, youre contributing to the vast amount of these birds mistreated and abandoned because they are the furthest thing from easy. shameful
This is the irresponsible, inaccurate video - most of these birds are an enormous commitment, finance, knowledge & care for decades. Talk to your local bird shelter for accurate information, they know first hand which birds are most often surrendered or youtube channels like BirdTricks, Flying Fids, etc. this quick vid is from a vet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eRk0ax91YhA.html
The bird I recommend for beginners which are low maintenance and playful are ones like budgies, cockatiels, emus, cassowaries, Galapagos albatross, those simple ones
Conures are not quiet at all and most of these birds are definitely not for beginners. A macaw or cockatoo is the last bird i would recommend for a beginner. This will end up in more birds for adoption based on false information. Birds are a BIG responsibility, and if you are willing, an amazing addition to the family.
@waymilky442 such as cockatoos, macaws, and African greys are absolutely not beginner pets They require extensive care, live for an extremely long time, and are very loud.
Thank you. Glad I read your comment before watching the video. Also they recommended macaws!? I've never had a bird and I know they require lots of attention.
There's a picture of a plucked Indian ring neck parakeet in the middle of your discussion of quaker parakeets. Quaker parakeets are not legal to have in many states.
