What is the best beginner parrot i have fish so i need the bird to be able to be quiet and friendly?

Why should the bird be quiet and friendly? Fish won't be able to hear it and it's not like the bird is going to be playing with the fish, right? And anyway, don't plan on getting any bird if you want something quiet, and especially a parrot! They are going to be loud and noisy at times and if you can't stand it you better not get one. Sounds like you might be better off with something like a parakeet or a cockatiel.What is the best beginner parrot i have fish so i need the bird to be able to be quiet and friendly?
I have had Parrots for several years now and none of them are quite!!!! If you get one be prepared for a lifetime commitment because the average life span of a parrot is between 65 to 85 years, unlike fish they DEMAND a lot of attention so in other words it's like having a 2 year old for the rest of your life! Don't get me wrong, if your willing to make the commitment you can't ask for a better companion, but just be prepared. You might want to get a parrokeet to start with, there small but still need lots of TLC and attention, that will give you a taste of what a big parrot is likeWhat is the best beginner parrot i have fish so i need the bird to be able to be quiet and friendly?
come on its a PARROT i really dont think u will find a parrot that is quiet
A budgie (parakeet)! They may seem noisy, but they're a lot quieter than other parrot species.
If you want a quiet bird, then you don't want a parrot
There's no such thing as a beginner parrot, really. The parrot you should get is one you are genuinely interested in, one that could be integrated into your everyday life and family, and one that you enjoy the company and personality of. That said, all birds are very, very different as species and as individuals. Also, as others have said, generally parrots =/= quiet.





Many people consider budgies or cockatiels as first time bird owners because these two species have minimal care requirements (however, this does not rule out vet visits, proper and balanced nutrition, a high standard of caging needs, a variety of perches and toys, and a few hours of daily attention), are more docile and easy to tame than some others, and usually aren't as loud - in GENERAL. Budgies have a soft chatter, but they can also scream, flock call, and make angry dolphin noises. Cockatiels whistle, sing (males), chatter, scream, and flock call. Some may flock call for long hours of the day, and keep in mind flock calling is naturally spread across acres of land to keep in contact with other birds, and some may do it once or twice in months.





I will advise you, however, to not even consider an aratinga conure, a subfamily of the conure notorious for their insane and shrill screams, spreading over blocks of neighbourhoods. The sun conure is most commonly seen from this family, and while incredibly beautiful, they often have quite spunky attitudes and quite the headpounding, ear drum blowing scream. Alexandrine parakeets are also large parrots that have what I call surround sound stereo screaming, probably worse than the aratinga conure. Lovebirds, also, while small and cute have very high pitched voices that can echo and be quite the annoyance, and they tend to be very territorial and nippy - they look sweet in pet stores, but they're not the easiest to work with.
I agree with some of the other answers, parrots and large birds are NOT quiet. Cockatiels are very friendly and generally not loud- you should look into one of those as a first bird.
No parrots are 'quiet'. You can get a budgie or finch...theyre pretty quiet. However, theyre pretty timid.
All birds/parrots require a great deal of time. It would behoove you to research several different types of parrots and contact your local bird rescue or club. If you don't have at a minimum several hours a day to spend with your bird, not to mention over $1000 of extra money for tje bird, the cage, and supplies; and then at least $50 a month, plus vet care, you should not get a parrot. They are very sensitve and intelligent animals, and should be highly respected.





FYI: Larger parrots, such as African Grey's, Amazons, and Macaws usually run about $1,000 to $1,600, cages cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000 and toys, food, and perches usually will cost $250-$300 to get started.





A parrot is a very large commitment, and one should never be purchased without a great deal of research.





Good luck.
