Ah yes, the $10 000 largest parrot in the world with a beak that can break cage bars and bones, requires loads of well-informed training and interaction to stay healthy, lives up to 50 years and needs at minimum a whole ass room to itself - perfect for beginners thx
If you haven't got room for a Hyacinth, how about a Conure? As long as the cage is "big enough so they can spread their wings" they'll thrive. And if your bird gets noisy, apparently you can simply cover the cage so the sound no longer bothers you. A treasure trove of valuable information right here.
Dont want to cut the happiness for anyone here but, Umbrella cockatoos are one of the WORST pet birds, they are smart and get easly temperamental when in hormonal seasons, they also require WAYYY more attention then whats stated on the video, cockatoos are better for people used to birds, since its hard to read their body language, they are also one of the most rehomed parrot species, together with basically all other types of cockatoos, Amazons and African Greys, PLEASE, stay away from those birds as a starter bird owner unless you have researched a lot, and have experience with other animals with similar moods (ex. cats, altough birds take much more work then cats, their personalities/moods are relatively similar if you had atleast 4-5 cats and seen how different their personalities can be, just dont expect them to be as easy to take care of, cats are self sufficient in basically everything, while birds need your love and attention as frequently as possible, if you dont have time for birds I highly advise you to get more independant and self sufficient birds, or heck, just get a cat if you dont have basically any time for birds, also remember, most birds live 30+ years, yes there execptions, but the "loved by the crowd" birds generally live from 30-100 years.)
I always say if you want a macaw as a first pet bird, get a Hahn's macaw. If you want an African Grey, get a Timneh African grey, want an Amazon get a Lilac crowned, want a quiet parrot get a Pionus etc. In terms of parrots for first time owners bigger doesn't always mean better.
agreed. I find any video that recommends a cockatoo to be complete BS. They really shouldn't be pets. 90% of the homes can't give them what they mentally need.
Cockatoos are not for beginners! It’s like having a baby for 90 years. If you go to any avian shelter, you will see Macaws, Cockatoos, and African grey, they are not for beginners and need constant attentions. Please please please do research on the bad side of cockatoos. If you are not a very experienced bird owner DONT GET ONE! You have no clue how sad it is when cockatoos end up in a shelter since the bird was to hard to take care of. And the Macaws that this RUclips channel recommends are not for beginners. That doesn’t mean that this is a bad channel, it just means not to get macaws, African grays, or cockatoos unless you are an expert bird owners. I don’t recommend getting a parrot as a first bird either. Finches and canary’s plus budgies like the video said. Please do research on the Bird you want before you get one. Thank you and love the video
@@PeterJake2868 Budgies are far easier and cheaper to look after than other parrots. Large parrots are more intelligent and emotionally complicated and will demand far more of your resources. Cockatiel is not a bad choice either. Green Cheek Conure can go either way for a beginner, but if you are up for more of a serious challenge and have the time and patience to spare..... All just my opinion
I actually had a parrot for fey years, I was thinking on getting a car but I also want a bird, so I was planning to get a bird, train it a bit, then get a calm kitten and train it to do no harm to the bird and not to go near.
No 1. pet bird of all time, pigeon. Yes, a pigeon, fancy or feral. Minimal noise, cuddles better than a cat or a dog, crazy affectionate, easy to feed and care for, cute as heck. I don't know why but they smell so good, like combination of popcorn and cooked corn on a cob. I know its random but I just go comatose when a pigeon lays under my neck and falls a sleep.
Thera Planet They are so cuddly and all, but I have a cockatoo, and when we got her, she attacked me and hissed. Her body language is very hard to read. She still attacks randomly and I have heard the same from MANY other cockatoos owners. But she can also be just the sweetest! I’m so sorry if I offended you, these other birds are great! Cockatoos are just a bit deceiving
I know, I’ve read that they are for beginners so many places but they really aren’t. Just because they’re gentle doesn’t mean you should get one if you don’t have a lot of bird experience.
No actually they are 15k and as a beginner a hyacinth is a good pet, price doesn't relate to experience its relates to accessories and birds. Hyacinths are incredible birds and yes they are for beginners.
This video is gonna make more and more birds end up in parrot adoption shelters. Birds need lots of care and are hard to keep. You must research before buying birds!
Yes you should research into birds but this is a good kick starter or basic information for the type of bird you want while this video isn’t quite enough information to go off of right away you can still research yourself after the video
any 'best birds' list that has cockatoos isn't worth listening to. Cockatoos are 100% NOT for beginners. In fact very few people should ever keep a cockatoo. They need CONSTANT attention. They WILL self harm without it. You can't leave them alone while you work for 8 hours. And vacations are also going to be difficult and extremely rare. They WILL need to be a main focus for many, many years. Honestly, no one should own a cockatoo. It's just not mentally healthy for them.
A pigeon is actually a Rock Dove. Most people just do not understand how smart and curious they are. It is sad that they get such a bad rap. Our city poisons them. I think Rock Doves are beautiful.
I had a lovebird a couple years back, and I’m thinking about getting another bird once our puppy grows up. What would be a good breed for a lower end intermediate caretaker?
@@cking91182 trust me I know I have had my birds for 6 or 7 months now they are not fully tame yet almost there though I think I'll be able to fully tame them by the end of the summer
I personally believe any bird may be your first bird, but you have to be prepared. I would say try to volunteer at bird sanctuaries to get used to birds, the noise, and compare the birds you would be working with. Hyacinth Macaws are big, they take up a lot of space, their bites hurt, and they can be extremely loud. But nonetheless, being prepared is key. My only reason for not recommending these large birds is Amazons, African Greys, Macaws, and Cockatoos all are the most found in shelters, mostly because of how big of a responsibility they are because of how long they live, or maybe their owners could've passed before they did. So many people give up on these large birds because of this huge responsibility. Leaving so many birds in shelters, so I would say if you want one of these larger birds, go rescue one from a shelter, give one a home that would love it rather than getting a baby, or a young one. No bird should be able to be discarded like that. They are the 3rd most popular pet in the world and they are also the number one in rehomes. As well as children maybe wanting a bird, they need something relatively hardy, and easier than these large birds. These large birds can break the skin and easily take off a finger. These large birds also need a lot of space, they cant be left in their cage because there isn't enough room for them to fly around. Also, let me reiterate since I lived with a Scarlet Macaw for a while, THEY ARE LOUD. To be concise, smaller birds, with a more chill or friendly personality would be more ideal for someone starting out rather than one of these large birds for someone who doesn't know what to expect.
Cockatiel, Love Bird, Budgies, Parrot r the best of u can raised them from pups. If u can do that then u can be sure u will have a wonderful life partner for sure. They need attention n they love to play with u. They live very long if u take care of them properly. Parrots also a great pet n they will live 20/40 years. This is a ultimate commitment if u really want a pet who can also be a life partner
I don't have any bird experience yet but I feel like macaws and cockatoos are far too expensive and high maintenance for a beginner like the hyacinth macaw in the thumbnail is usually around 40,000$ (not hating and sorry for bad English I was taught French first :-) )
Okay you really just didn’t put the biggest and hardest macaw to hold on a list for beginner. These birds can bite your fingers off, and they are not “gentle giants” all the time trust me. Hopefully nobody listened to the video and thought that it was a good idea. Poor soul if so
Galahs are excellent. I found one starving. Near death. It has never ever bitten me or made the gesture to do so. My irn is the opposite. I love doves too. The best. Canaries if hand raised are super. Starlings super too. Love is all that is needed.
We had 2 rescue Goffins Cockatoos, they loved to chase rolled up athletic socks but their real "fun" was to chase my wife and daughter making like they were going after their feet. They never actually bit but once they screamed and ran, the two strutted around wings out and crest up. Unfortunately, we had to move several states away for a job, so we donated them to the local Bird Club so they could find them a great family.
Cannot believe why cockatoos and other parrots are on this list. Cockatiels are NOT easy birds as they require a LOT of interaction. I always ask people what kind of attention can you give a bird?
I had a flock of doves when I was young, but they kept fighting each other. I had them in a huge aviary that had more than enough space for all of them.
I've got a long flight cage with about 16 zebra finch in. They are full of character each one with strong personality. They love rainforest RUclips stuff played. Bath's usually three times a week. Plenty of good seed mix ( versa laga premium prestige) plenty of cucumber broccoli etc. Fresh water Miller too. I find I have to change perches round lots to break territorial behaviour. I have a packet of biotics in freezer for them too. They are noisy but breed well. Mine have boiled egg once a week as protein treat.
I enjoyed your video very much. I had never heard of the Pionus. I hope you can do videos showing this type & telling us more about them. How about the Ring Neck? I understand makes great pets, comes un beautiful colors & they are great talkers & players.
I have a parrotlet & they are NOT a beginner bird lol. they are very quite though but they have personalities of Amazons, their cousins. they are nippy & territorial
DO not listen to this macaws are not very good birds for beginners because they are big they also have a very strong bite and can do serious damage if they get angry I suggest to get a budgie of cockatiel for starter.
This is such bad advice ! A cockatoo or Macaw are NOT great beginner birds at ALL ! They are probably some of the actual hardest birds to have as a pet !
hyacinth macaw's cost is about 40,000 dollars i have one and it is so cute and good behave to other people and they are expensive and they also eat expensive food that can be 100 dollars
You don't have a hyacinth, if you did you would know you don't feed a hyacinth bird food, maybe a small amount a day but majority of their diet is human foods. And hyacinths are 15k nowadays.
@@ShaiOsman they never said that they had bird food? Also they can be different prices in different areas. I'm not saying they definitely have one but you need to stop being a know it all.
You don't know much about birds as cockatoos are not for the starters. They can last 100 years also they can be aggressive also you have missed one of the best birds about. Which I have cheap good talkers they start talking at 8 months friendly too it's the quaker or monk parrot how did you miss this bird off the list. ?
N.1 hyacinth macaws are great beginner pets, price doesn't equate to experience required. N.2 hyacinth macaws are on the endangered list, so are african greys and some cockatoos, they aren't on the critically endangered anymore. N.3 their cost decreased to 15000 and some can even be found for less especially in the US.
DO NOT GET A HYACINTH MACAW AS A BEGINNER THEY WILL LIVE 30-60 years and upwards so if you are ready for that then go so. They are also very expensive and are loud. They are not birds for beginners
@@Nxrvy just gotta say cause I have a roommate who got one and it was hell for the bird . small cage no training and bad diet . Bird was plucking and I had to take care of it till it found a loving owner.
What a terrible video. Bad advice, bad bird recommendations . Just a few examples, Lovebirds can be extremely nasty, even when hand raised (very strong bite for a small bird). Indian ringnecks are not social contact species, which means they don't particularly like being touched and scratched. Finches and Canaries, apart from the occasional hand raised bird are not hands on species. Last but not least, Macaws and Cockatoos (apart from most Galahs) are not in any way a "easy, beginner" bird. I have kept, bred and worked with birds for the majority of my life. For anyone considering a pet bird, please do thorough research. RUclips videos of a cute bird that seems so friendly and wonderful are only a tiny insight into the actual reality of the life of living with any bird.
Owls are wild, and they spend most of their time alone, hunting for their next meal. They are predators by nature, and handling them requires special equipment and a special set of skills.
*EVERYONE* please please dont get a parrot or any pet if you havent done research! Parrots arent just decoration, they need more care than dogs and cats! Easy first time parrots are budgies and cockatiels, cockatoos and macaws are NOT a good choice at all if you dont have experience! Most parrots are forever 5 year olds and parrots like macaws usually live for 60 years! Please go do some research from actual parrot channels!
i am currently searching for breed/s of bird pets that will not fly away even if u take it with u outdoor or when u take it with u when u ride a bike.. i dont want to tie its leg if ever.. can u guys name ur top 5?
Hmm a bird that wont fly away...Ostrich ? They dont fly away ....or Maybe a Kiwi , but I dont think New Zealand would be to happy if you are trying to smuggle on of those out of their country...
DO NOT GET IT IT IS HARDER TO take care of then a dog cat or anything like that they cost SO MUCH money to take care of there big and they are one of the most rehomed birds
You should get a big cage where the budgies can fly around, most parrots fly *horizontally* so buy a long cage, they also need lots *fruits and vegetables* on their diet, dont forget to let your bird out of the cage everyday for exercise. And for gods sake *dont clip their flight feathers!* Also use *natural wood* perches with various widths and curves, and change your toys every week, dont use plastic toys, but instead buy natural toys. If the toy is painted make sure the paint is *not toxic!* As an extra since parrots *love destroying* and *shredding* , you could buy some shredding toys. You cant buy a pet if you dont study before getting one!
Not a singular best bird, but many of them have less problems compared to other birds like cockatoos or lorikeets. That's why you see so many budgies and cockatiels in the community, they're easier to manage
Another great bird is the senegal.They are great pets and tend to bond quickly. Medium size bird that loves to play and is great for apartments as they tend to be calmer

It doesn’t matter
Lovebirds should be called spitebirds.
Budgies are not the only breed of parakeet there are lots of other parakeet breeds
Sun conures are good but if you don’t give them enough attention for a single day they will attack
This video is so bad it should be taken down. Cockatoos and Hyacinths are good for beginners?!? Lots of wrong information in this.

L O L green cheek Conyers being quiet! They can screech up to 150 dB! I know, I had one that was almost 30 years old.
Me and my family had a white wing dove named smokey
I can't get large birds because their nails are so sharp that it nearly pierces a skin especially if they bite it hurts😅
When someone speaks about cockatoos does he also mean then cockatiels in general?
If they're noisy and bite they don't belong on the list.
Most of these birds are definitely not for beginners...
I have a gala and a macaw and trust me, they require a lot of work and money.
Hyacinth macaw is really expensive
Yeah
Guys I used to have a budgie and when I was at school my mum thought my budgie was lost but she was on the shelf 🤣😅
Ok gys you show many awesome bird species in this video but why there is no place for Indian Ringneck ?
I have a finch (European goldfinch) and trust me when I say they aren’t easy it took him *2 YEARS TO TRUST ME*
Why tf are thay saying Hyacinth macaw when they cost $25-$35,000 and are on on the endangered species listed
N.1 hyacinth macaws are great beginner pets, price doesn't equate to experience required. N.2 hyacinth macaws are on the endangered list, so are african greys and some cockatoos, they aren't on the critically endangered anymore. N.3 their cost decreased to 15000 and some can even be found for less especially in the US.
I am thinking about getting a cockatiel. 🤔🙂
0:40 WHAT IS THAT BIRD WHAT THE NAME
It’s a rainbow lorikeet
Please dont even try to get a blue macaw, (assuming you cound afford one) let em be free as they all should be
You can buy captive born
why would u leave a bird free?
Cockatiel and the blue hyacinth macaw are the best for my mom and me😃😃
DO NOT GET A HYACINTH MACAW AS A BEGINNER THEY WILL LIVE 30-60 years and upwards so if you are ready for that then go so. They are also very expensive and are loud. They are not birds for beginners
@@adz500x he or she is being sarcastic lol
@@Nxrvy just gotta say cause I have a roommate who got one and it was hell for the bird . small cage no training and bad diet . Bird was plucking and I had to take care of it till it found a loving owner.
@@adz500x damn
We love Budgies.
What a terrible video. Bad advice, bad bird recommendations . Just a few examples, Lovebirds can be extremely nasty, even when hand raised (very strong bite for a small bird). Indian ringnecks are not social contact species, which means they don't particularly like being touched and scratched. Finches and Canaries, apart from the occasional hand raised bird are not hands on species. Last but not least, Macaws and Cockatoos (apart from most Galahs) are not in any way a "easy, beginner" bird. I have kept, bred and worked with birds for the majority of my life. For anyone considering a pet bird, please do thorough research. RUclips videos of a cute bird that seems so friendly and wonderful are only a tiny insight into the actual reality of the life of living with any bird.
Not sure I want a spunky parrot, lol.
I liked the video but a human voice would be better
nice
Most of those “doves” are just several different species of pigeons
COCKATOOS ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!! NO WAY DEFINITELY NOT
And hyacinth macaws
My first bird whas a dwarf macaw he is the best so friendly
can owls be good pets?
Owls are wild, and they spend most of their time alone, hunting for their next meal. They are predators by nature, and handling them requires special equipment and a special set of skills.
I have a cliff parakeet it’s a baby
*EVERYONE* please please dont get a parrot or any pet if you havent done research! Parrots arent just decoration, they need more care than dogs and cats! Easy first time parrots are budgies and cockatiels, cockatoos and macaws are NOT a good choice at all if you dont have experience! Most parrots are forever 5 year olds and parrots like macaws usually live for 60 years!
Please go do some research from actual parrot channels!
But I already have a cockatiel
It’s on my shoulder in my profile picture
@@rayyanarfin7998 What a cutie! Whats its name? Im getting a white one aswell, and I will name her Yuuki :)
i am currently searching for breed/s of bird pets that will not fly away even if u take it with u outdoor or when u take it with u when u ride a bike.. i dont want to tie its leg if ever..
can u guys name ur top 5?
Hmm a bird that wont fly away...Ostrich ? They dont fly away ....or Maybe a Kiwi , but I dont think New Zealand would be to happy if you are trying to smuggle on of those out of their country...
you're seriously asking the creator of this ridiculously misinformed video?
Guess the hychine macaw is going to be the best pet for me!!
I mean i really want that too-
qwq
DO NOT GET IT IT IS HARDER TO take care of then a dog cat or anything like that they cost SO MUCH money to take care of there big and they are one of the most rehomed birds
Yeah don't get them. Unless you experience for those parrots
These people do not even know their birds...
How long does a cockatiel live?
12 to 15 years
cockatoo cuz i have been researching them for like years and my father promised me to buy 4 lol
Have you even had a bird before?
So much misinformation...
Lol I got a baby macaw 2 weeks ago I’m way over my head but I’m not rehousing bec that’s mean lol love my buba
i want the blue,macaw but i cant affored it but its okay i just buy cockatiel :)
i am buying 2 budgies in a week! Do you have any tips or anything I need to know before getting them?
Get a bigger cage and don’t put them on a seed diet. It is NOT good for them. Do more research on what they should eat too.
You should get a big cage where the budgies can fly around, most parrots fly *horizontally* so buy a long cage, they also need lots *fruits and vegetables* on their diet, dont forget to let your bird out of the cage everyday for exercise. And for gods sake *dont clip their flight feathers!*
Also use *natural wood* perches with various widths and curves, and change your toys every week, dont use plastic toys, but instead buy natural toys. If the toy is painted make sure the paint is *not toxic!* As an extra since parrots *love destroying* and *shredding* , you could buy some shredding toys.
You cant buy a pet if you dont study before getting one!
well, i already bought them and trained one of them so well but it unfortunately died in december
@@rabbitalukdar7334 You got bought it and it died in *3 months* ?
@@rabbitalukdar7334 That doesn't sound right-
Stopped watching after hearing the computer generated narration.
I will take a scarlet macaw in baby boy and 2 German shepherds
good choices..
You sure??
ok have a good time having a dead macaw
Did you just place an order for a Scarlet Macaw and 2 GSD on a freaking RUclips video?🤣😭 I can't with y'all🤣🤣🤣
and budgie is better than canarys
And Amazon parrots
Which one should I get a pionus or a budgie?
Budgie!! Budgies sound like buddy 😆
there's no bird best for beginners.
Not a singular best bird, but many of them have less problems compared to other birds like cockatoos or lorikeets. That's why you see so many budgies and cockatiels in the community, they're easier to manage
@@lizziehn5928 tru dat
Most of these birds end up abused! Sad!
Another great bird is the senegal.They are great pets and tend to bond quickly. Medium size bird that loves to play and is great for apartments as they tend to be calmer
this video is a hot mess
what about pigeons?
This is the worst video because it’s not reality!
