This species needs a firm hand with training. They tend to act out if not trained properly, so don’t skip out on this part! But they’re good-natured and do get along well with all members of the family, though they’ll often bond closest with just one. Keep in mind, this parrot can scream and will likely be your alarm clock at sunrise every day.

This species is also called the Mexican Red-Headed parrot and they’re known for being flock-oriented birds. Whether the flock is other birds or their humans, they want to be with their flock all the time.

If you prefer a more laid-back parrot, then the Mealy is a good option to consider. They’re very gentle and affectionate, forming close bonds with their person. In the wild they’re monogamous creatures, though in captivity they’ll often seek out any family member who can provide some attention.

This species loves to be the center of attention. They’ll put on a show and perform for their owners. They become so close with their family that they might even attempt to attack anything they perceive as a threat to their people, dive-bombing to protect their family.
