From the large Military Macaw to the tiny, bright-yellow canaries, birds can be both entertaining and fascinating companions.
They do require special care, but if you're committed, the rewards are endless.
Several birds, including parakeets, can be taught to talk or mimic words and sounds they hear often. Quite the conversation piece by itself when entertaining guests.
Parrots and Cockatoos enjoy interacting with the family, or their flock at it were, and will talk and mimic and be your "exercise partner" during your step-class, and dance with you when you're listening to the weekend Top 40.
Understand the commitment before taking an exotic bird into your home; such as veterinary fees may be more costly, the diseases more exotic and harder to treat, larger cages so the bird may spread it's wings and move around without feeling confined. The larger or nipping birds may not be handled by small children, and some birds may need more attention than your family dog, but you will also bond with the bird like no other animal and they can add color and life to an otherwise drab household.
