Parrotlets
Elite Procurement Fee: $110
BEST FOR:
Newbie pet bird parents with young families. Parrotlets are a fantastic addition to a family with elementary-aged children. Their small size and moderate noise level mean you can keep them in apartments and townhouses.
Charming parrotlets, affectionately known as “pocket parrots,” are fantastic entry-level parrots. They may be tiny, but they have big, charismatic personalities, and you can train them to do all sorts of things, from stepping onto your finger to turning around and waving. They’re lovable and easy to maintain, though sometimes territorial.
