What's everyone's favorite parrot species? This is factoring out space, time, or money issues, and if we were in a perfect world. It can be a favorite for any reason. I'm just curious to see what everyone likes. I love all parrots, and there's none I'd hate.
If I had to create a top 5 list, it would be:
1. Galahs, Cockatiels, and Green-cheek Conures (I can't pick one, so three-way tie.)
2. Budgies (Underrated birds. I wish they had longer lifespans like the larger birds, and if they did, they would've taken first place. 50 years with a budgie please. xD)
3. Lovebirds (My boyfriend's lovebird charmed me.)
4. Macaws (I want to learn and spend time training and free-flying them. Marvelous birds. I spent time with a B&G and a GW at a place I used to go to.)
5. Kea (Parrots that don't belong in captivity, but I'd like to observe and research in the wild. Their intelligence is amazing, and they rival New Caledonian crows for tool use in birds.)
