Looking to buy your first parrot? In this video I go over my top 5 parrots I recommend to new parrot owners. You’ll be surprised though, I don’t recommend a lot of the common birds you find in a pet store.

What parrots do you own?
$30, may I ask where are you located? They are at least $300 in NJ/ NYC.
All sorts of good advice here. Nick Morganelli and his wife ran a parrot shop in Winston-Salem for many years (retired years ago and sold the store), and he and his wife were FANTASTIC with their birds, raising babies & breeding. They always let potential customers handle the birds in their shop (those that were safe/socialized enough to do so) for the same reasons you mention.
Just discovered your channel today, and I like the "vibe" coming from you and the pretty lady. Interest, passion, and care for the animals as well as the owners (know how to care for your bird properly). Just like "Papa Nick" and his wife always did all those years ago.
Cockatiels run $400 or more after tax at the big main pet stores in texas …there’s no way inflation jacked them up that high!!! $30-$200?!!!!
I started with a cockatiel and hes been one of the best choices of my life, but he has covered my entire house with poop
the hard part is actually finding them to buy them
I’ve had a pionus and a few cockatiels. Loved them and great entry level birds. I’ve wanted a larger more talkative parrot for a while now but have been watching tons of videos to see if I’m ready. I know parrots can be extremely high maintenance… more so than a dog in a lot of cases. Just thinking about it.
I got all of my birds from an aviary…please consider that. More reasonable!!
great video
Tomorrow my friend is coming to my home, she and her sister buyed me a parrot (they dont know that i know its supposed to be a surprise) she wanted to get me a cockatail but she didn't find one so she brought me a lutino rosalle. Im so excited!!
My "starter bird" was an African Grey parrot that I got when she was 4 yo. She turns 30 yo this week!
I had a green cheek because I had heard how quiet and sweet they are. He turned out to not be that way…. Lol. He was obsessed with me and screamed for me when he couldn't find me. He hated my husband (the competition) and actually started chasing after him and attacking him….. usually his face. He actually drew blood several times. My husband never admitted it, but I think he became slightly afraid of him. Ugh. Never again.
Going back to this video a year later since I've first saw it, just realised the 3 birds we've ended up going with are on this list lol.
We've started with a white capped Pionus, followed with a cockatiel and two weeks ago got ourselves a Hahns Mascaw 😀 no more for now, because Apple (the Hahns) are taking up all our time + 20% more!
Thanks for the tips once more!
I love cockatiels X/////3
You were Great
This is a very good video. Thank you so much
God took beauty to another level in parrots. Intricately beautiful with the small details here n there.
Nice T-shirt.
Love cockatiels. Easy ( for a parrot ), not too noisy, not too time-needy, will ask for head-scratches once tame.
Since they are affordable, best begginer parrot.
But do look into second-hand cockatiels, because they live quite long ( 15yo+ ), so often they need a new home from someone who can't keep theirs.
I bought both my cockatiels over the years as second-hand birds, and they are amasing. It's cheap, they are just as good, they need a new family.
Where are the budgies on this list?!
A word about conures…. They are super sweet to their original owners….. we fostered a green conure one time who had been my grandmothers parrot. He was tolerant of her and mean as a hornet to us. And I definitely agree with the “mean to other birds” comment. He bit one of my Budgies toes off one time…. Mean, McBroski, mean….
Well, I guess I'm lucky because at the end of the day, shimza picked it up. We had a party because he loved me. I should have laid the Fountain Lake. When I found to man well, I've gotten back to pet store and I took them home but just to say we had a party everyone was there. You're drinking soda, don't worry.The bird didn't have any shoulder.His name is pikachu toyeah and I love you with all my heart
I had a parakeet that would mimic the back door opening. It squeaked when it opened. And he would do it perfectly at the worst times. Scary movie, back door creaks open. I would run to check, and back door was closed no one there haha
Green cheek but turquoise? How cool. What is the real name and can I find it in San Diego? Thank you ❤😊
Cockatiels do talk– mine have. Parakeets talk too, which I've had.
