Our team is excited when our feathered clients come to see us for veterinary visits, and we love interacting with their human families as well. Although we know there are plenty of different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/veterinary-services\/avian-and-exotic.html\">pet bird <\/a>species sharing homes with human families in Austin, we have found that these are the most common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parakeets&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The parakeet, or the budgerigar, is a fan favorite, especially when it comes to families with children. Since they are smaller than some other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/blog\/is-an-avian-or-exotic-pet-right-for-you\/\">pet bird<\/a> species, they do not require as much space. They do need the same care, however, which means regular visits to the bird veterinarian. Parakeets are known for their distinctive whistle, and some can even learn a handful of words and phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Cockatiel<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The cockatiel is another pet bird that likes to participate in conversations. Like the parakeet, the cockatiel can learn words, but they usually prefer to mimic sounds like the doorbell. Cockatiels come in an array of beautiful colors and can live for up to 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Finch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The finch is a tiny bird companion who prefers the company of birds to the constant attention of humans. That makes these tiny avians perfect for pet owners who love passively watching their feathered friends without having to spend a lot of time entertaining them. Unlike many of the other birds on this list, finches have softbills and only measure about 5 inches (or less). With regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/blog\/exotic-pet\/\">wellness visits<\/a>, they can live for about 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Lovebirds<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love parrots but don\u2019t have a lot of space, you might want to bring a lovebird into your home. These tiny parrots are only 5-6 inches, which makes them the perfect companion for apartment or condo dwellers. With the proper care, lovebirds can live for up to 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>Dove<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These sweet, calm birds are great for homes with older children or just adults who will not get too excited near the cage. Although they do well on their own, doves do need companionship, so be sure to give them plenty of time outside the cage. Placing mirrors nearby can also help them feel like they\u2019re socializing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what kind of bird you have, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/about-us\/\">BEEVET Animal Hospital<\/a> is here to offer them the veterinary care they need throughout their lives. We also see dogs, cats, and exotic pets.
