  Parrots Senegals Amazons Lovebirds at Parrot Parrot
Parrot-Parrot is a site dedicated to the smaller parrots such as lovebirds (Agapornis species) and budgies (parakeets), but it is also an excellent resource for information on ALL birds and parrots, with pages dedicated to our favorite amazon parrot (Inca, the Amazon Queen) and that devilishly handsome Senegal parrot, Maxwell.
We give you the best books on lovebirds, amazons, budgies, and other parrots, as well as on bird behavior and avian nutrition (books on growing wheatgrass and sprouting are excellent resources), and don't miss our special section that carries technical avian veterinarian texts.
Although many people think a small parrot such as a lovebird or budgie is "easier" they still require quite a bit of time and care compared with cats or dogs.
