Society finches make wonderful pets for bird lovers who appreciate their social nature, gentle disposition, and entertaining antics. Society finches are generally non-aggressive and can coexist peacefully with other small, friendly bird species. They are not known to be territorial or prone to fighting, making them ideal for mixed-species aviaries.

Bourke’s parrots have a reputation for being one of the mellower of the parrot bunch in terms of vocalizations and attitude. They tend to be most quiet during the day and active at sunset and dawn. They are often referred to as the “pink parakeet” because of their small size and popular pink color mutation.
