FAQs regarding reserving a baby with us and our waiting lists please read

           

Please do not e-mail and ask us to recommend a bird for you as we cannot do this and have
no other opinions than the ones on this page or on our
species profiles pages.


Determining what will be the correct bird for your family situation, lifestyle, personality, and budget can be a very difficult decision for many people. From the number of e-mails we receive each day asking our advice regarding what bird our staff would recommend for various situations, we know this is a major concern for many of you. After some thought, this page was designed to give you some objective information that hopefully will help you know more about the various characteristics of the bird species that we raise here at AVES INTERNATIONAL. We have no agenda to sell one type over another, and actually no longer raise many of the specxies listed below. The information on this page is left here for general help/information. It is difficult to recommend a bird for someone as this is akin to recommending what kind of food one should eat in our not so humble vegetarian opinion :^) or what kind of car we think one should drive, etc. Our favorites might not be your favorites and after all, it's only an opinion and everyone has a different one, right?! Therefore, please see the chart below for general characteristics regarding each species. Please note that some of these characteristics are relative to other species and can vary with individual birds, environment, training and socialization, and other myriad factors. Bird behavior can be as varied as human behavior thus your experience with a particular species may differ from our opinion. Behavior is extremely variable and it is impossible to make absolute statements of fact.
Please see the explanations below that correspond to the numbers beside each species name.
Please do not e-mail and ask us to recommend a bird for you as we cannot do this and have no other opinions than the ones on this page or on our species profiles pages.
