As we can not take flight like birds, it is possible to keep birds as pets and observe there unique nature.There is an extensive variety of domesticated birds.ie parrots, lovebirds, cockatoos, cockatiel's, Amazons, Conures and macaws. There is also non parrot type birds such as canaries, finches. As we find most common pet birds like budgies, cockatiel's, canaries and finches are of the smaller species.
