buying a parrot

[andrew1]

hey guys and gals my name is andrew and new to this site.
im looking for a parrot for my family and myself we have a 2 year old and need some ideas on what to get.
ive asked some people and they have said kings, ringneck,maroon bellied,
i wanted a monk parrot but was told they are only a one person bird so put me off that idea
not really fussed on a ringneck as everyboby has these as well as for the maroon bellied nice bird but to small i think for me.
so would like some ideas please

Hey welcome to the forums!

I think you should go with the monk parrot. They aren't always one person birds, mine loves my whole family! They will be very quiet if you spend alot of time with them, and they are very very smart. My monk parrot learned - Step Up, Step Down, Kiss, Dance, Spin, and Wave - within the first 2 weeks that I had him. They are very nice and cuddly lil birds. They will love you forever and be your best buddy. They are about as smart as the African Grey!

Anyway, good luck with your parrot adventure. If I were you I'd go with the monk parrot

With a two year old toddler in the house, I would recommend you wait until the child will know to obey when you tell him not to put his fingers anywhere near the parrot. A toddler and a parrot is too high a risk.
