can anyone tell me what its like to own a speckled amazon? are they loud?(relatively speaking) are they playful or cuddly? there is not a whole lot of information online.
This is horribly unfair to a cockatiel, budgie or parrotlet. Small birds can be just as complex and in need of care as a large bird. They deserve better than being someone's practice bird. Unless you really want a tiel, budgie or parrotlet, will respect and love one in its own right, and will not treat it as a learning experience or discard it once you get your Amazon, you must NOT get a small bird.err...have you owned any Amazons before?Or medium/large sized birds in general.You sound like a newbie in birds.Suggest you get a tiel'/lovebird/budgie/parrotlet to start with instead of an Amazon or such.
My point is that when it comes to expenses on cage,food and toys,they will often be cheaper and on noise levels too.They also won't bite that hard,so that also makes them a better bird for new bird owners than bigger ones.If he already has he heart set on a Amazon,then do it.But if he is still unsure,I'd say get a smaller one first and yes,because of the unchanged need of attention he can kind of imagine what a bigger bird would be like,the destruction she could make,the amount of cleaning needed to do and the beak and screams.This is horribly unfair to a cockatiel, budgie or parrotlet.
