Name Suggestions for Pet Birds

Every pet bird has its own personality, traits and characteristics; however, they all make very smart and  fascinating pets if you are dedicated to enriching their environment. Birds are much easier to care for than other pets, but that doesn't mean they will be less demanding!  Some birds can be vocal and loud, and it's not healthy for them to spend hours in a cage unattended.

Birds love attention from people and they are very easy to train.

They'll probably even learn things you didn't intend to teach them! However, regular training and interaction is a must--if they aren't given consistent opportunity to interact and learn new things, they will develop harmful behaviors and emotional problems.

According to BirdChannel.com, the top ten best birds to have as a pet include:

1. Cockatiel (rated number one)
2. African grey
3. Budgie
4. Conure
5. Macaw
6. Cockatoo
7. Amazon parrot
8. Poicephalus parrot
9. Pionus parrot
10. Quaker parrot
