Hey, everyone! So, I am wondering if anyone would have suggestions for me as to what kind of bird would suit me. I have a few cockatiels and two parakeets. I have plenty of space for a new addition. I have previously owned a quaker aswell.
Here's what I would like in a bird:
-something quiet. I don't like the constant chatter of a finch, nor the high pitchness of a quaker. It's best if you compare the noise level of any bird you suggest to cockatiel, parakeet, or quaker as that's what I have heard the most. I have zero problems with the sounds from my cockatiels or parakeets.
-something friendly. I want a bird who will like to come out and spend time with me. I also like birds who tend to be cuddly (allowing to be pet)
-playful. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my birds, but they don't have a huge playful factor.
I do not want any conures. I was going to get a green cheek, but read they can be very nippy and loud.
I am WELL aware that many of these factors depend on the birds personality. I would just like to hear some personal experiences with them.
