Best Parrots When YOU Don’t Have Much Space

Hey there, bird enthusiasts! Have you been looking to adopt some feathery friends into your apartment?

Well, you’re in for a treat because today we have the perfect video lined up for you.

Listen closely, maybe this article will save you from getting in trouble with your HOA or, more probably, a pissed-off neighbor.

Welcome to Valleywide Parrot Rescue, your go-to destination for all things parrots. Today, we’re counting down the top 5 parrots that are perfect for apartment living.

Now, before we jump into the list, let me remind you: all birds make noises, and no parrot is completely silent. So, while we’ve carefully chosen parrots that are generally quieter, keep in mind that they can still make their voices heard. Now, let’s get this party started!

Kicking off our list at number 5, we have parakeets!

These colorful little characters are a fantastic addition to any apartment.

Parakeets, also known as budgies, are known for their playful personalities and ability to entertain.

While they can chirp and chatter, their noise levels are generally manageable, making them a great choice for apartment dwellers.

Moving on to number 4, we have the lovable lovebirds! These pocket-sized parrots may be small, but they sure pack a punch when it comes to personality.

Our rule for lovebirds is if you want them to be a pet, make sure you only get one. Lovebirds are some of the most territorial and vicious parrots out there. However, that side of them only comes out when they are in a pack environment.

If it is always around people or even around other birds, it will be fine, but once you introduce another lovebird, ooooff.

Let’s just say that it can get loud and even sometimes dangerous if the pack is big enough.

Now, at number 3, we have the iconic cockatiels!

These feathered rock stars are renowned for their beautiful crests and delightful whistles.

Cockatiels are incredibly social and love to interact with their human companions.

While they can vocalize and even mimic sounds, they are generally quieter than some other parrot species.

That makes them a perfect pet for a small or even medium sized home.

And here’s a pro tip: if you want to minimize noise levels, opt for a female cockatiel as they tend to be quieter than their male counterparts.

Grabbing the second spot on our list is the stunning Indian ringnecks!

These beautiful parrots come in a variety of vibrant colors and possess an impressive ability to mimic speech.

While they have the potential to be a bit noisier than the previous parrots on our list, they can still adapt well to apartment living if given proper attention and mental stimulation.

And just like with cockatiels, consider opting for a female Indian ringneck as they generally have a quieter disposition.

And now, for the grand finale, the parrot that takes the crown as the best parrot for apartment living is none other than the loquacious quaker parakeet!

Known for their intelligence and incredible talking abilities, these birds bring a whole lot of fun to any apartment.

Now, I have to be honest with you: quakers can be quite vocal and may surprise you with their decibel levels.

Just be prepared for their lively conversations, and trust me, you’ll never feel lonely again!

And there you have it, folks! Our top 5 parrots for apartment living. Remember, while these parrots are generally quieter than some other species, they still make their fair share of noise. So, be considerate of your neighbors and create a loving environment for your feathered friends.

My husband and I went with my mother in law so she could check out a rescue cockatoo here. I had recently lost my beloved Quaker parrot Sky, so I was not looking myself. But along came Oscar, who stole my heart. A shy but feisty Conure who gravitated right for me and wouldn’t leave me alone the entire time we were there. We went to leave, and I said “Goodbye pretty boy” (something I said to Sky each time I’d leave) and he made a maneuver with his one good wing precisely the way sky would to say goodbye and I knew our fate was sealed. They were wonderful getting me all set up and ready to take him home, and giving me as much backstory for Oscar as they could. They really have a nice, clean rescue set up here.

Big thank you to this rescue and Ben for the smooth adoption process with Lucky. He is the sweetest boy and we’re lucky to have each other! More than anything, I appreciate how cared for these birds are. Their needs are taken care of, but they are also emotionally invested in and so much care is put into their rehoming and future well-being. Every animal deserves this type of care. Thank you 😊

So grateful to have met Ben and Valley Parrot Rescue. With great sadness I surrendered a dear umbrella cockatoo today due to family health issues. She is a most loving bird and Ben was so adept in working with Angel. He has made my heart rending decision so hopeful and optimistic for Angel and my family's future. A great place to meet your next new family addition.

What an amazing organization! Ben helped me so much at a time when I no longer could care for my bird. He took in my sweet little bird and found him a new home. I highly recommend Valleywide for adoptions and rescues.

I had come across this rescue by accident one day… I seen a parrot I fell in love with immediately. The sweet little guys name is plum. I worked mostly with Ben through my process and he was so sweet and answered every question I had never made me feel like a bother and trust me I asked him a lot of questions he prepared me for everything I needed to know about plums specific personality and his likes or dislikes. He made me feel welcomed and comfortable when I came in to meet plum. I felt he truly cares for his birds and really does want them to go to the best homes. You can tell all his birds are loved and the birds trust him. The birds are well cared for clean cages, food and water at all times. I am truly grateful to have found this rescue and found the perfect bird to make part of our family. I recommend anyone go here to find their new baby. I have been to other rescues where I felt very judged and was actually straight up judged didn’t just feel that way and demanded to do things. Like was told to sit like I was a dog. Anyhow, When I finally came to pick up plum for take home I met the rest of his crew who were just as nice and friendly they played with and talked to my 2 1/2 year old like she was there everyday. You could tell plum also trusted them as well. Such great people they all are ❤️ I love this team and I appreciate all they do for these lovely birds. You can tell they take so much time with them he knows exactly what each bird needs or what each bird does not like. That’s someone who cares
