![]() That way when sexual maturity comes around, they don't end up hating a gender of person for that reason alone. The importance is to keep them socialized with BOTH sexes of humans (this applies to any bird). But he will become sexually mature at about 2yrs and he will get nippier again. He, too, can be a little nippy, but only to ears, and he is still very young. Green cheeks need to be DNA sexed, you can't tell by just looking at them. We got him as a hand fed 4 month old at a bird fair and "he", too, was trained in a week. ![]() My conure is VERY fun, like a little acrobat, he talks, he LOVES to snuggle, and loves toys more than any of my other birds. I have found that parakeets tend to be louder than my p'let or my conure. I mean, any bird you get is GOING to make noise. My green cheek conure is actually very quiet for the most part. She is still pretty nippy, as parrotlets are notorious pickers!!! But I had another female that was hand fed and ended up never being hand tamed, so it depends on the personality- the more outgoing a baby bird is, the better luck you have. I got mine hand fed and was fully hand trained in a week. Males are more timid, can be harder to train, but are prettier and can talk. This is my experience with the females, which i prefer over males. They have an attitude of a much larger bird and are FEARLESS. Parrotlets are very quiet, the loudest sounding like the birds outside your window in the mornings (in the US, at least, lol). I have had her for 5 years now, and have gotten other birds since, but my p'let goes nowhere So just make sure you get a kind of bird YOU want, not feel you SHOULD get. When I got my first bird I had never owned a bird before and a parrotlet was the first bird I ever met that I wanted. So, tell us, what kind of bird do YOU want? That's what happens to a lot of cockatiels, you know? People get them as beginner birds, decide they can handle more, get rid of the 'tiel and get the other bird they ACTUALLY wanted. I believe you should not have to worry about what a "beginner bird" is.
