Here’s a brief summary of the most popular birds that people have as pets.

If you’re interested in buying a pet bird, you should know which are the most popular birds in the caged bird market. These birds make excellent pets, for both beginner bird owners and professionals alike. That is why they are so popular.

Topping the list of the most popular pet birds, and to no one’s surprise, is the parakeet. These birds are hardy and come in a host of different colors. They’re perfect for children or new rookie bird owners. And if you’re lucky, your parakeet may even mimic a word or two one day.

Next on the list come cockatiels. Again, this is little surprise. These birds are quite stunning visually, and are famed for their advanced whistling and singing skills.

Finches and canaries are popular, too. These small birds – most measuring 5 inches or less – actually pay surprisingly little attention to humans. This makes them ideal for pet owners who like to watch, but also want pets that require little interaction.

Lovebirds are also a great. These are the smallest members of the parrot species. Unlike parrots, though, these birds are fairly quiet. That makes them ideal for pet owners who either can’t have or don’t want to deal with a lot of noise that might be produced by the larger parrot species.

African Greys are smart birds, often possessing a vocabulary of as much as 2,000 words. Because they are so intelligent, though, they can be quite demanding.

The African Grey, then, is perfect for the owner who wants a friendly, smart companion, and doesn’t mind spending a lot of time interacting with their pet bird.

If you go with any of these very popular birds, then whatever your experience level, you’ll end up with a great companion pet.

All these birds come highly recommended.
