difficulty

Can someone give me a general idea of common pet birds by difficulty (from time, care, cost)? I know budgies or finches might be some on the easier and macaws some of the hardest but what about in between?

Dear ParrotForums, I am seeking help and guidance for my current situation with my birds. A long-winded explanation is kind of neccesary to explain the scope of my dilemma, so please bear with me. I currently own two parrots, a quaker parrot and a cockatiel. My father was a long time bird owner...

So I fostered a pineapple conure in august. She's beautiful and lovely, doesn't bite. She does have a bit of a princess syndrome, and she screams a little which is to be expected(The parrot sanctuary found her outside, she almost died over night). My own background includes raising lovebirds...
