You can get a Tag, Cag, Cockatiel, Parekeet, Lovebird, McCaw, Robin, Blue Jay, or even a Hummingbird.....just get a bird you feel good about and all will be ok.............Some birds cuddle, talk, look cool and some dont! Ha hahahaha I just got lucky with my TAG cause me and him hit it off pretty good, and now he will prob outlive me!
