Hello

[Benjamin]

I'm new here. Today I am trying to decide whether to buy a Pacific Parrotlet or a Cockatiel. What do you think????

Benjamin,

Your selection of birds depends on what you are looking for. A cockatiel is a step up from a parakeet; a parrotlet is the smallest true parrot. Each has its own rewards and drawbacks.

Good luck in your selection!

Regards,

Hey Benjamin! Welcome to the site :) . I've never owned a cockatiel, so I can say anything about them. But the one parrotlet we owned was a joy and had a huge personality. So, I'd have to say the parrotlet. :p
