Canaries are nice. I think the males sing and are so pretty. But if you want to play and snuggle, another bird is better, ha. My parents had a canary for a long time. It was so pretty. Sang when they came home from being out. Just do the research first with any new bird. There are wonderful forums to get great advice. I am on Shih Tzu and Parrot forums.

I like to snuggle and play, read to, sing etc my bird. I read a little book and sing to her before bedtime. They are just like toddlers. VERY smart little pets.

Parrotlets are kind of new, in the U.S. 20 years or so. They are 4 1/2 inches long and quite pretty. LOTS of colors. Blue, white, yellow, etc. Chipper is a Pacific Lucida. You rarely see a Lucida. Colorful on her back.

Chipper is a hilarious little girl. Right now she is napping in her sleep cage. She will call me soon to bring her back in here to the living room where her big cage and playgym is. She is a HOOT!
