A lot of people are aware that parrots have what is roughly the intelligence of a two year old human.

However the chances are good that you have known both wonderful two year olds and two year olds who you don’t want to be around!

The truth of the matter is that if you want a parrot that is well behaved and sweet, you are going to need to put some work into it and choose the perfect parrot.

Take some time and look into what parrot breed is right for you and make sure that you find the one that suits your lifestyle.

The more you know about the different breeds out there, the better a choice you can make.

When you are looking for the perfect parrot, you may want to look into the African Gray.

The African Gray parrot is talkative and quite intelligent and you will find that it can bond quite closely with the family.

It is also important to remember that there is a chance that your African Gray will bond closely with only one person in the family; this can make it indifferent or even hostile to the rest of the family!

This bird will learn to talk fairly easily, so be ready for a real chatterbox to develop.

The Blue and Gold Macaw on the other hand, is more brightly colored than the African Gray and it can be quite playful and active.

This is one of the larger parrot breeds and they do need their space; they are quite affectionate and will be playful their entire lives.

If you are looking for a parrot that is less active than the Blue and Gold Macaw, make sure that you look into the Greenwing Macaws.

The Greenwing Macaw is also talkative, and though they are larger, they are less active than the Blue and gold Macaw.

If you have children in the home, it might be best to look into the smaller parrots that are available.

Cockatoos are parrots as well and they tend to be not so demanding and a bit quieter than the larger parrots out there.

The Lesser Sulphur Crested Cocaktoo is a great pet and you can recognize them by their yellow crests and cheeks.

They are a fairly easy going species and they are quite active, though their smaller size means that their caging needs are easier.

If you are trying to find the perfect parrot for your household, remember that the breed is going to be important.

Look at your current household and consider what your options are going to be when you are thinking about bringing a parrot home.

The more you know about the different breeds out there, the better a choice you are going to be able to make!
