I have a Lovebird with 4 Poicephalus - although I guess the size difference between a Lovebird and a small Poi and between a Lovebird and a Grey might be different - I do get where you are coming from.

It's somewhat of a concern when I have him out with the others (which is all the time) - he doesn't shy away from anything.

One of my mom's Lovebirds (which live on a different floor of the house than the bigger birds) actually has a fun time scaring away her Moluccan when they happen to be around each other (which is not often). It's rather funny to see the big chicken cower from the substantially-tiny-in-comparison bird...

I love my Grey for his gentle temperment, his intelligence, his personality and how easy he is to care for.

I love my cockatoo for her full of beans confident attitude, her love of cuddles and her hilarious personality.

They are both polar opposites in personality, I don't think either is better, they are just different, as are my dogs and as my horses. It varies between bird to bird let alone species. Appearance wise obv Greys aren't the most beautiful, but they are unbelievably smart. Our Ekkies definitely the prettiest birds, and very affection but personality and intelligence wins for me every time.

I love, love, love Galahs!! :galah: I would buy a Galah without thinking if I were able to find one in my country.

Last year, before I bought my first medium/large parrot, I was thinking about getting an Amazon. :amazon: In fact, I love green birds :mrgreen: as green is my favourite color. But these days I met a TAG who was looking for a good home, Prince, and I fell in love with him!! :gray: After him, I bought an ill grey because I couldn't leave him at that pet-store, he was soo ill and surely was going to die. :( He was such a nice bird. After his expected death, I saw a grey in unacceptable situations, and I knew I had to give him a good home, so I bought him. Yes, my favourites are Galahs & Amazons, but life wanted me to have greys, so I have a grey. :) Maybe, years later, when I leave my family's house, I might think about getting an Amazon again, because they're soo cute and lovely. <3

Love-birds is my favourite parrot type. Love-birds are pint-sized bundles of joy. They have the full personality of parrots while being easy to house because of their size. It is important to realize that while lovebirds are a small parrot, they have the intelligence and abilities of some of the largest parrots.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
