Iām looking to get a bird within the next year or so. I want to be sure to be thoroughly researched before making any decisions. Iām having a tough time deciding what kind of parrot I want to get and am looking for suggestions. I know each bird is different with their own personalities, but Iām just looking for generalizations for the different species of parrots. A lot of information I find online is conflicting, so I wanted to ask people who have owned them. So a little about my household so you can help me choose a good fit. I am a stay at home mom so Iām home pretty much all day. I have two young kids under 5 (they would be highly supervised while interacting with the bird) so I need a bird that wonāt be territorial over me and could eventually be a companion for them as well as they get older. I know cockatiels are usually what people recommend but I donāt think I could deal with all of the dust. The qualities Iām looking for in a bird are: not very dusty (I know all birds create a dander but some less than others), good with kids (as in not a āone person birdā and generally gentle), and I would like for the bird to be kind of snuggly and like to sit with me while I watch tv or read. I know I may be being a little too picky. So far Iāve looked into pionus, lovebirds, Meyerās parrots, and green cheek conures. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
