A pair of budgies or a pair of diamond doves as pets?
I am looking into getting a bird as a pet. I've narrowed it down to budgies and diamond doves, but I can't decide. I am able to give them the time and interaction they need. I can also get them all their needs such a a right size cage, food, toys, etc.
I would like some pros and cons about both. Like, noise level, human interaction, time of day when awake, etc.
I have many budgies in my past. And they are not the bird to get if your looking to cuddle with them. There skiddish little birds, and dont like to be around humans if you have more than one. If you have more than one parakeet, it will not want ANYTHING to do with you. It will be more interested in its partner. If you get one, get a male, and he will slowly bond with you. But will likely still be a little skiddish. Also, get a handfed one, thats the best bet for a cuddler budgie.
As for doves, they are MUCH MUCH more affecionate that budgies. Though again, if you get two, they will probably want more to do with one another than you. And if you get one, get either male or female, it doesnt make a difference with doves. Though, males are much quieter and softer, females tend to be loud and "laugh" a lot. Doves are going to be a little more high maintanence, because they are a bigger bird.
Both breeds of birds will be awake when you are, and most likely asleep when you are. It all has to do with when lights are on, and when they are off. When people are around, and when they are not.
Good Luck and God Bless!
