bulldogod Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Has anyone had any experience with these birds? Can you teach them to talk? Are they as noisy as lorikeets?? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 noisier than lorikeets, very affectionate to their owners to the point where they can attack strangers, can talk but in my experience not fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Superb Parrakeet or Barraband need to be hand raised and the male carries the colour Online Auction reference removed. if you go to see it make sure that the bird can be handled or is finger tame PMed you bulldogod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I also think the male Baraband is a great choice, mine was not hand reared but straight out of the nest box just as he was ready to fledge. What a great boy my Frodo was, great talker as well. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago. As for a Alex you need to start collecting ear plugs now for there noisy times, mine is noisy morning and evening but pretty good during the day. He is at the shop with us and out of his cage all day. A king parrot is my pick, Our Lucan is the best, not loud, very good looking, not a great talker as he comes to work most days since he was 4 months old and around to many people, but chatters words at home to himself, but also have 5 parrots in the lounge :lol: ! King Parrot, 1 Crimson wing Parrot, 1 rock Pebbler and the new guests until there aviary is built a pair of green check conures. More birds inside than fish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 cat + bird = yum Which is why you keep the bird in a cage and lock the cat away when the bird is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogod Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 cool, thanks , will have a look at the Barrabands, I like the sun conures and alexs but if they are as noisy as the lorrikett that I had then no way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Conures can be loud but only some times, Lories will keep going all day. Try the smaller conures like Green Checks and Maroon Bellies. Depending on what you want to spend a A Grey could be a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Greys a bit outa my price range. How about ringnecks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 if you have hearing aids they will drive you round the bend they do make a good pet but will sing out when strangers around they call them ringnecks for a reason Eclectus are a bit cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Eclectus are a bit cheaper How much cheaper? I've always loved the look of them, but never really looked into it. How available are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
