Ideal bird for an extroverted personality

Extroverted people are euphoric, and cheerful and always show their emotions. Just as some people are sociable and friendly, some bird species have an emotional character and require a lot of affection.

The ideal species for you, as an extroverted, is one that matches that joy and mountain of intense emotions that you experience every day, a sociable and active species of bird that shows its emotions.

The ideal pet for you includes the following species:

Parrots

Parrots are known for being very talkative and sociable, making them one of the top pet bird species preferred by people looking for an unconventional pet they can bond closely with and talk to. They also express a lot to you with their highly developed body language.

Parrots are talkative, they can learn words very easily given their prodigious memory and innate ability to articulate words of any language in the world, so you can teach them to talk.

It has been scientifically proven that these animals have great intelligence comparable to that of a 5-year-old child. They can memorize more than 100 words, identify names of objects and even count from 1 to 6 according to experiments of the animal psychologist, Irene Pepperberg with the parrot Alex for 31 years.

If you, as the owner, have raised them from a young age by giving them food, you will become a figure of security and comfort. Their most characteristic behavior to show you their attachment is to follow you everywhere, you’ll see.

Australian Parakeets

Budgerigars are the domestic birds par excellence, they are economic birds and easy to domesticate. In addition, their docile, sociable, and curious character toward humans makes this species one of the best-feathered pets in general.

Budgies appreciate your attention and interaction with them, they can become very friendly if you are patient and follow their pace to gain their trust.

Additionally, male budgies may be able to articulate a word or two, so you could try interacting with him to teach him to imitate words.

Ideal bird for an introverted personality

There are more reserved people, not so cheerful, and not so easy to express their emotions; we are talking about introverts. This type of personality groups all people who prefer to keep their space and tend to have solitary habits, enjoying more the quiet than the hustle and bustle, much more to contemplate than to interact.

Are there birds that suit introverted personalities?

Yes, there are birds that accommodate the habits and character of introverted people. Generally, birds are a bit aloof, and less trusting than dogs and you’ll have to earn their trust. But, some domestic birds are much more cautious or simply don’t require a lot of attention or affection, so they prefer to have more space.

Among the ideal species for introverts are the following:

Zebra diamond

The zebra finch or mandarin diamond is a sociable bird species that flock together and is native to Australasia.

Although it is a sociable bird, it doesn’t like direct contact with humans because they are territorial birds (especially females) and won’t respond well to your attempts to touch them. The diamondback likes to keep its distance and sing many songs while you watch it.

Hens

Chickens are very docile and don’t require much affection, only basic care to meet their instinctive needs.

They are independent birds that can live alone or be grouped with other hens without the need for a male (rooster). If you want a domestic bird and at the same time poultry that requires little attention (as long as you have space outdoors), hens are perfect for you.

Goldfinch

Native to the Palearctic, the goldfinch is a sociable and quiet bird species that flock together, traveling great distances as the seasons change in Europe and moving south in winter.

It’s a great pet bird thanks to its active behavior and how easily tameable it is. Plus, your days will be flooded with its singing melodies.

However, like the zebra finch, they like to keep their distance, especially during the mating season when they become more territorial (they breed about twice a year).

Canaries

In addition to their beautiful song, the affable and friendly nature of canaries makes them an excellent pet for very active and cheerful people who love to listen to natural music at dawn.

Canaries are natural songbirds and one of the most admired singing pets in captivity. They are small and somewhat skittish birds, very suitable pets for people with limited time and space.

Canaries tend to gather in groups but tend to need more companionship when they are in the breeding season. They are easy to care for animals that like to keep their space and sing nice melodies, so they can become an excellent pets for lonely and introverted people.

Now that you know which bird is right for you, look for yours.
