Cockatiels;

Cockatiels have always been an all-time favorite, this Australian native of the parrot family is probably the most popular pet bird today. This is because Cockatiels have a gentle, affectionate nature, and are known for getting along well with families and children. Cockatiels love to put their head down and have you scratch it, and will sit happily for fairly long periods of time on someone's shoulder. With diligent handling, a young Cockatiel should become extremely tame and friendly. A range of different color varieties are generally available, with some of the more rare types comparatively expensive. Cockatiels make a perfect pet for apartments and households with children.

The male cockatiels make better talkers than females, but their specialty is whistling. The males have a natural whistling call, so it's very easy for them to pick up whistling, and some can perform entire songs. If you want your Cockatiel to talk however, it is recommended that you not whistle to it at all in the beginning. After it's talking well, you can begin to whistle some tunes. Females tend to be more affectionate and somewhat less independent.

African Grey;

Yes, the African Grey parrot is actually from Africa. There are two subspecies of African Grey parrots, the Congo African Grey and the Timneh African Grey. Here at Windy City Aviary we breed the Congo African grey. The Congo African grey is slightly larger than the Timneh, and has bright red tail feathers. The Timneh's tail feathers are darker (maroon), and overall the Timneh usually has slightly darker coloration than the Congo African grey, especially over the back. The African Grey Congo is a beautiful, intelligent parrot, that would make a wonderful addition to your family, as long as you have the patience to give them the attention that they need and deserve. Owning a parrot is something that takes lots of love and time, in order to have a good relationship with them. They have definite needs, and if fulfilled, you will have a lifelong friend. The Congo African greys are excellent mimics and can imitate the human voice as well as every day sounds like the door bell, telephone, answering machine, etc. They do not always just repeat, they can understand some of what they say, by knowing the right response what is spoken to them. These highly intelligent birds require a lot of attention and stimulation and can become quite devoted to their owners. They are relatively quiet and domestic pets and are great at mimicking the sounds they hear. In summary the African grey plumage and bright red tail feathers are stunning, so the African Grey is the perfect mix of brains and beauty.
