Dood, seriously? a parrot is a good starter.

Anyway, parrots dont really need special care, But heres some tips:

-Dont buy Jellybean parrots,there usually dyed different colors and within a month the fade to a white,

-Try to get some tiny parrots that have stripps and that are black.

- It will vary how big your parrots get, it could get 5-10" well just look at your hand , right now, thats how big they can get, Unless you have a rally big hand ,
