TOP 10 MOST UNDERRATED PARROTS | Great Parrots for A Beginner

Birbsquad I've missed ya!!! So lets talk underrated parrots that are still great parrots for beginners. I have all of you that commented on my Top Ten Beginner Parrots video to thank for this one. You guys gave me so many other species to consider and talk about. I feel like many of times, several amazing parrot species get overshadowed by those popular in the pet trade. Even though some of these parrot species mentioned in this video are still fairly popular, I don't hear them talked about much or recommended to others. So I wanted to shed some light on these different parrot species because they are all potentially can become amazing companions!!!!
As always, you guys know I recommend first checking out a reputable parrot rescue if you feel necessary to adopt. I never push this on anyone because we all have different lifestyles and experience levels however, it never hurts to look. You never know you may find your next lifelong companion there that you are totally ready for! If you choose to find a breeder, please learn about them and the bird you're interested in as much as possible. I recommend if you're taking this route, to look on www.birdbreeders.com and read reviews on the aviaries. Good luck!!
*If I get a chance I will time stamp each parrot species but for now here is the list:
1. Kakariki
2. Lineolated Parakeets "Linnies"
3. Brotogeris (few different species in this fam but I talk specifically on the Canary Winged Parakeet)
4. Black Capped Conure (consider other Pyhurras as well)
5. Half Moon Conure
6. Red Rumped Parakeet
7. Brown Headed Parrot
8. Mynah Birds
9. Alexandrine Parrot
10. Mealy Amazons
*other species are mentioned in the video as bonuses*

Victoria Ryann - I have heard good things about the blue headed Pionus. Oddly, there is a little canary wing parakeet in rescue near me. Also a half moon conure that I fell quite in love with at the pet store. He/she already says come here, step up and blows kisses. A real doll! The Quakers I went to see last month were not as friendly as advertised. So I am still without a bird. 😢

[@VictoriaRyann]

Awe that is awesome!!! Stinks about the Quakers though... The right Birdy will come in your life when it's time. I can feel it 🤗 happy Thanksgiving to you and fingers crossed on finding a Birdy 💜

[@MyJAG12345]

So good to see you again! Great video! I was hoping to see a video from you this week! Frankie starting saying peek a boo the other day. It's so cute!! I was pretty shocked he's such a quiet little guy. I laughed when you talked about the Alexandrine, the Ringnecks are such challenging birds they need constant work! I tell everyone they will try your patience!! I adore mine but I had my days!😂 I'm sure that is who Frankie learned peek a boo from! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Kiss your birdies💕

[@VictoriaRyann]

@@MyJAG12345 thank you Wendy that means a lot!! Lots going on so I'm trying to at least be somewhat consistent with uploading lol. But I appreciate it and always enjoy talking to you about birds. Must be a crazy birb momma thang 😉haha you ain't kidding about those birdies!! Your birds are so awesome and it's very obvious they are so loved. Give them all a hug for me and hope you and your fam have a happy Thanksgiving as well. You're the best 💜

[@alldeesbransontractor9401]

I came here looking for reasons I wouldn’t want a parrot. Not because I don’t want to get a parrot. But, because I want to make sure I actually want one.

[@Loveofpets]

I had a Kakariki and he was a very nice bird. They are extremely active. Mine has a huge vocabulary and he was not cuddly at all but landed on my shoulder or head and wanted to be near me, he would step up for a second and off he would go. I love them and would want another but there are none around. You are right about the linnies and their huge ostrich poops, lol. They are a great little bird. Brown heads are considered a great bird, my friend has one and said he is the best bird she has had. You talked about some great birds. I would love a canary winged but there are none around in my area. Your video was awesome!

[@nickbailey5201]

Yh I feel dame I'd have kakarikis again but I only like natural colours not mutations and it's hard to get hold of em plenty of buttercup kakarikis which are sweet but I like them green

[@KewlQT]

I'm so happy that you listed Linnies as your #2 pick. I breed and love them so much. I also have Conures and breed Eastern Rosellas but my personal all time fav are Linnies. Their poop isn't really that bad, mine are trained to use puppy pads that I have outside their cages. I just wish I could keep up with the demand as everyone seems to love these easy going goofballs. Not only do they learn to talk from their keepers but they learn words from each other as well.

[@KewlQT]

@@sandwichqueen6875 as long as you keep in regular contact with your birds this will never happen. They will see you as a member or vice versa of their flock. I especially love the babies. When you hand feed them formula they are like “velcro” birds. Always clinging to you... so loving.

[@SatanenPerkele]

I clicked because I saw a Kakariki in the thumbnail. I own a pair of them myself. They are very quiet, cute and gentle birds. Very good for apartmentliving too! I always let them fly around everyday as much as they want. And I love the way they sound. (They sound like little high pitched sheep).

[@GraceT]

I have 4 and I agree- they're great! They're just not cuddly like quakers or conures, and difficult to breed and hand feed, so they're not popular.

Crowes and ravens are some of the smartest birds out there, I'd love to keep a crow but you can only shoot/kill and maim them. Not keep and take care of domestically. Yet you can purchase a nondomestic crow for around 12 15 hundred if I remember right.

Mynah birds can be seen on the streets EVERYWHERE where we live. In fact, I can see three right now outside my house. They're VERY common where we live in. People don't really take care of Mynah's where I live in since they sorta live on the outside. But yes, they are adorable.

Super glad I found your channel. I just really enjoy how laid back and happy go lucky you are compared to most bird owners.... I quit using/looking at parrot forums a long time ago because I can't stand the over-the-top borderline OCD demeanors.. not to say birds/parrots don't have their own lvl of "commitment" required in proper care, but it's super refreshing knowing there's more down to earth bird lovers out there.

Kakarikis are a type of grass parakeet meaning they naturally eat in the ground like cockatiels budgies and doves. Linnie’s prefer to walk rather than fly and they’re one of the smallest parrots that grab stuff with their feet

[@nickbailey5201]

I have mountain parakeets they are a bit smaller than parrotlet with long tails they eat with their feet too there great eaters too literally finish everything all the time but love when they eat using feet

@@VictoriaRyann Ah yes the brown headed parrot the 3rd most common Poicephulus parrot in captivity (the 2nd is the Meyers which is also a very nice parrot) 🦜 😀

[@GraceT]

I second the no clipping of the kakarikis! I have 4 and letting them all out of their cages to fly, is chaos. They have TONS of energy and become very neurotic when they don't get to fly. They also can bite very hard, in response to being cornered and frustrated. Also they LOVE water. They are in half fish. Seriously they drench themselves daily. The downside is also that they have a shorter lifespan. The health of the kakariki population outside of New Zealand, is concerning, given the number that end up dead very young. They're still fairly new, so there's probably something super important in their diet that, as keepers, we're missing.

We've had a black capped conure for almost 2 months. She is a little nippy, but very sweet. She loves to cuddle, especially right up under your neck, or in your hair and likes ever person in the home and every she has met so far. She is a little too clingy though. When she is out she really wants to be on you. it's probably her age, she is only about 7 months old. She is definitely a clown and rolls on her back like a dog and gets you with her feet. Very happy so far with her.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Awe that's awesome Phantom and I really appreciate you sharing your experiences so far with a black capped. I think this will really help someone looking into getting one. Thank you again and tell her my flock and I says hi 💜 also happy Thanksgiving to you and your fam

[@stephanies8082]

Victoria Ryann. I wouldn't really consider my Jenday Emma loud. She sounds off when she's excited to see me (whenever I walk into the room she's in) or when she's outside in my screen room and sees other birds flying around. Other than that she just very chatty making all kinds of cute squeeks and duck noises. She definitely tries to communicate but doesn't say any words yet

[@stephanies8082]

However she is very "nippy" and we're working on it. I've tried a few ways to get her to stop biting but haven't worked. Now when she's being a nippy brat I blow in her face ( lightly)and say a gentle but firm no and this is working well so far. I've heard conures are biters but I just couldn't resist Emma's clown like personality.

I always consider rosy bourkes to be pretty underrated and difficult to find (around here anyway) but my bourke, Fiji, is amazing. In my experience bourkes are honestly the sweetest, kindest, most gentle soul I have ever encountered in the parrot world. Also I think it is so funny how every says conures are not great talkers, cause I must have gotten massivly lucky with mine cause 2 out of 3 of my gcc's are talkers. Rio talks all the time and has a pretty big vocabulary, while Tiki is a shy talker but definitely a talker. Also hope everything is going well with you and your family, girl! 💕

Had one when I was 14 and we would never clip his wings he flew away one time though after 6 years haha. My sister and i we're just talking about getting another because we loved it so much now that I'm older (29) maybe I can actually train it and it won't fly away.

[@Quetzaluki]

I have two Bourkes parakeets myself and what I've heard is different between them and red rumps is that red rumps are going to be a lot more aggressive... maybe not towards humans but towards other birds. In fact, likely too aggressive to be kept with Bourkes unless they're in an aviary setting (and even then, I'd say take care because even zebra finches can bully Bourkes in some circumstances!). Between the two of them, Bourkes are definitely the gentler species. Grasskeets in general are going to be gentle, though independent birds and if you want one that is affectionate with you, you are better off finding a hand-raised bird as sometimes these birds do not tame, and even when they do, sometimes they are not going to be willing to step up. Even between my two Bourkes, I have one that is super sweet, loves to step up and kiss (and land on my head!) and one that pretty much hates my hands (even if she steps up, she usually flies off shortly thereafter), but they both do love to be with me, or doing their own thing when I let them out. It's important to remember that all birds have their own personalities but Bourkes are probably more likely to make better pets than red rumps.

Hi Victoria, just put a deposit on a half moon conure. He talks and does nip. Was in a home with kids . Age: 1 year. Going to see him in 2 weeks. Getting DNA testing in the interim. Hard to find this breed. 😨

[@rouasmr]

i never knew amazon birds were underrated

[@TheCarmel40]

Thumbs up

[@VictoriaRyann]

Thanks gf appreciate ya!

[@darrenbell6376]

Hi are the conures one of the better choices for people with allergies. I have chance of a green cheeked conure that's all

[@Featheryfaith7]

Bronze wing pionus is underrated and hard to find. They are quiet, dont bite and just chill. Senegals are also pretty quiet but they are nippy and not for children.

I run 7+ miles a day. I'm running 10 today..5 at noon and 5 tonight lol.

[@tanyaklawitter877]

How do i stop the constant shreeking of my 3 conures as all 3 are rescues and were needing homes

[@joshuaryan1125]

Mynah birds are a species of starling.

[@davidstrah4526]

Kakarikis are so rare in the uk even tho so many people sell them and they are so cheap. People in the uk only like birds that you tubers have and they don’t really consider wonderful birds like Kakarikis they are like £20-£50

[@orifine4431]

Linnie’s also tend to go through pretty awful and aggressive puberty based off what I’ve heard (I’m not a Linnie expert)

[@caracolt358]

I have a kakariki and they are a good first bird as long as you do your research they will come land on you often but don’t expect lots of cuddles however they do like them every now and then and they do want and need to fly they are amazing flyers and they are a sane bird as birds go 😂 but yea it’s about what’s best for you

[@alanahjade27]

I see red rumped parakeets on my school oval everyday when I walk home :)

[@nunyabinezz8759]

Looked up canary winged parakeets because I just saw them at a local pet store. They’re charging 380 for them a piece.

[@sixbroblizzard6485]

I got a gcc two days ago and he is an angel. He will not bite at all. But he won’t step up. He will come on me, but won’t step up.

[@iMuFiF8]

your so helpful thank you!!!!

[@Myownsilk81]

I have a Kakariki parrot and she is the best!

[@VictoriaRyann]

Awe that's awesome!! I usually don't meet too many people that have one. Really cool 💜

[@aquaastrorabbit]

Looking for recommendations on what kind of parrot I should get. I’m a full time college student with a part time job. I would like a bird that will bond with me and will sit with me while I watch tv or do homework. I’m not super rich and I’m fairly new to having a pet parrot so a bird which isn’t too expensive and not too demanding would probably be best for me. Any suggestions?

[@najeebahmad9174]

I have Alexandrine 1 year old he can speak

[@ismallion6536]

I had a kakiriki

[@chrissymcgirt4667]

Do you know why you cant buy grey cheeked parakeets anymore?? I had two of them but not at the same time. They are almost already tame when you get them. At least both of mine were. The second one named Scooter, he was great and so attached to me. So why arnt they for sale anymore.

[@karenknowles1537]

You are right on with my half moon (orange fronted). She is full of piss and vinegar, she loves to remind me often who is the boss. She talks up a storm and has a never ending array of sounds. She is a bit clingy, probably because she grew up with emotional deprivation and now that she has her person she wants me all the time. Negative, she is noisy! Her call to me can be ear piercing.

[@VictoriaRyann]

Hahaha piss and vinegar that's hilarious 😂 they may be cute but good lord they are rotten to the core lol. I'm happy though that she's got someone like you who understands and has the patience and love to make it work!! Bird momma's like you are truly amazing. Have a happy Thanksgiving 💜 tell that sassy girl we all said hi!!!

[@susierobertson3509]

On the Mynah bird, I used to call the miner birds, anyway they will be, or way back when, LONG time ago, mine was what one would call mischievous. Real funny story about him from the lady I got him from. I will tell some day. Hint, think skunk and myanh bird together and a stranger.

[@blindpanthervlogs]

How about cherry headed Conyers/red mass parakeets?

[@historyandmusic8646]

I was about to get a Senegal parrot put I got a green cheek instead. Am I dumb?

[@johnbrown3791]

Please, tell me how better to hold as a pet, one or one pair of blue fronted amazon? I have a boy (near 4 years old ) and recent i got an 8 months old girl for him. In the last few weeks, he's become aggressive towards me. Will it be permanent or shortly? What am I supposed to do to keep him on my side? Thanks! I am very anxious and nervous about his attitude and I would like to know if he will return to me as he was before or not. What should I do? I am a poor old man who has in this world only a parrot and a few dollars a day, the vets ask me many hundreds of dollars for a little advice. Shame on them! Please can someone help me with a free advice. Thank you !

Birdbreeders.com is where I got my female Turquoise Green Cheek Conure (: I’m glad to hear that other people know about it!

[@VictoriaRyann]

oh so cool! My daughter is wanting a turquoise they are so pretty. So do you think you overall had a good experience using birdbreeders?

[@OtakuQueen-kw9cm]

Victoria Ryann they are beautiful. I had a sun conure before, and I was thrilled to discover that they also come in a turquoise color! I found out through another birb youtuber. But I did indeed have a great experience with them. The specific breeder I went with have the cheapest TGCC’s I saw. They send you weekly pictures of your bird and they gender test it for you. I haven’t owned in about 10 years and they were more than willing to put up with my questions and concerns (:

Victoria Ryann also, I know you probably hear this a lot, but I love your channel and passion for birds. My fiancé stumbled upon you because he was doing his own birb homework on our TGCC and he was excited to show me, even though I found your channel a while ago lol. He says you’re funny and goofy, but you also know your stuff. My only requests for you is to keep up the great work on your channel and your birbs. Never stop being you (: Ps. You have a beautiful family and home (: good luck moving!

[@VictoriaRyann]

@@OtakuQueen-kw9cm aweee that's awesome. People can be quite judgemental towards breeders but there are some truly amazing ones that are overall great people who want to help. Thank you for your input on this and hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving 💜💜
