Birds can be an extraordinary pet. The trick is finding the right bird for you. To do this, ask yourself (and family) a few questions. A new pet can affect everyone in the home.
| 1) |
Do you want a bird you can handle or just to look at? How much time do you actually have to spend with your new family member?
If you are a "stay at home" person and looking for a bird that wants most of your undivided attention you might look into a cockatoo. On the other hand, if you are a "busy day" person and would just like to enjoy listening to your companion when your home you might enjoy having a canary or a pair of finches.

| 2) |
How much space do you have to devote to cage space?
If you have very little space for the housing of your new companion, then you will be looking at smaller bird species. Larger birds require larger amounts of space. Ask your local bird specialist to find out what are good bird options for your lifestyle, space and budget.

| 3) |
How much money are you planning to spend, and how much money do you have to spend each month?
In general smaller birds are less expensive than larger birds. Also the more brilliant a bird is, or a bird that has a beautiful song is more expensive. The cage is the most important accessory and will cost the most. There is food, toys, treats, dishes, vitamins to consider on a monthly basis. Larger birds will need a higher budget amount than smaller birds.
