I’d start small.
possibly consider a parakeet.
here are some of the many great things about Parakeets…
Better life expectancy than small mammals
Real personality
Beautiful to look at
Playful lively and funny
Interesting behaviours — particularly if you have two together
Cheerful song cheers you up
Love music and noise
Some learn to talk
No puddles on the carpet
Don’t need brushing or walking
Cheap and easy to feed
No dental problems
Probably the easiest of pet birds
Can often be kept in flats where larger pets are not permitted
and they only cost a few dollars!
hopefully this will help you convince your mom.
It may also help to do some research about the type of bird you are looking for.
Good luck!
You don’t need a Parrot. Parrots are a lot of money and a huge responsibility. They also live upwards of 50 years for some varieties. They are highly intelligent birds and require a lot of attention and stimulation.
If you want a bird, get a Parakeet. They are under $25, take up far less room, require somewhat less work (although they also need constantly changing stimulation in the form of colorful, interactive toys), they are also not nearly as long a commitment as a Parrot.
Parakeets are also capable of learning speech and tricks. They can be taught to be very loving little friends as long as you have the patience.
You mean a parrot as in a Cockatoo?
Don’t get one. They are extremely expensive, high maintainence and time consuming.
I desperately urge you to visit the website: Mytoos.com. The info there applies to almost All species of cockatoo
