I keep reading everywhere they are "aviary birds", that they "don't make good pets", etc.
It really makes me quite angry sometimes, especially considering these guys are the most calm and laid back parrots I've ever seen. I can't stress enough how amazing my little Citrus is.
Bourkes won't destroy your furniture, neither will they bite you, even if upset, they prefer to fly away. They won't scream next to your ear, they will instead do these little cute chirps they make.
If a super cuddly bird is what you're looking for, then maybe bourkes are not for you. But even though they're not cuddlebugs like cockatiels or cockatoos, bourkes love affection and they will love you If you respect them for what they are.
Bourkes are not known for being cuddly, yet my boy lets me pet him when he's in the mood. At first he didn't like it much, now he sometimes ends up sleepy.
I'm starting to believe every parrot tagged as "aviary bird" can make a good pet. It's just up to us to know what we want for a companion parrot.
Overall, my sweet little boy is one of the greatest things that happened to me in my life.
