Canary (54)
Before iPods there were boomboxes. Before boomboxes, there were stereo radios. Precursors to phonographs were Victrolas. But the way to get tunes in your home long before there was electricity was the natural sound of bird songs. For years people would place a Canary in a small cage on either side of the room and whoever did that first can take credit for inventing stereo sound. Read more
Cockatiel (165)
The Cockatiel is the smallest, actually a miniature Cockatoo, and is from Australia. The only bird more popular is the budgie. The Cockatiel is biologically classified as a genuine member of Cacatuidae because they share all of the Cockatoo family's biological features. Read more about cockatiels

Mini Macaw (118)
Not a day goes by that we don't get a call at the Birdie boutique beginning with "hi I have a Macaw" which for us always begs the question "what kind of Macaw"?

Parrotlett (67)
