When buying a pet bird,you must always find a reputable breeder or bird store.Always deal with people who sell healthy and socialized birds.If you are looking for a beginners bird, then the canary is the right bird for you.They do not like to be handled very much,but if you are looking for a bird that sings this is the one for you,remembering that it is the male that sings not the female.They come in different colours,but the most common colour is yellow.
Another small bird is the budgie they have an affectionate personality and some can be very good talkers.If wanted you can put a canary and budgie in the same cage,but the best thing to do is introduce them to each other first,as you can see on the video below.
If you want a larger bird then the cockatiel is for you.This bird is very popular,they are around 12ins from head to tail and they can live up to thirty years.
The male has the brightest colours with a bright yellow face and orange cheek patches.
The females colours are usually grey around the head with a very faint orange on the cheeks.These birds make great pets.
