I love any type of animal and so I loved having a bird. My little parakeet was very pretty and enjoyed chirping. She was willing to get on my finger and would allow family members to pet her but I was never sure if she actually enjoyed it. It was fun to watch her play with the toys we had in her cage and even watching her eat was entertaining. There were just a couple of things I found annoying about having a parakeet, one being the feathers that seemed to always float out of the cage onto the carpet -- something I hadn't anticipated. As well as the fact that she liked chirping so much it was a bit of a nuisance at times, however, in the evening when I covered her cage she would settle down and be quiet.
