Windy City Parrot Defines Small Size Species of Pet Birds

Last Updated on September 30, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Pet birds we classify as “Small” species

FYI There’s something like 120 plus species of Conures. Conures need to be subdivided into small, medium & large (which is on our to-do list)

Green cheek conures weigh 64 grams (cockatiels are about 100 grams – Patagonian conures weigh about 250 grams, about the size of a TimnehAfricann grey.

Don’t think for a minute conures can be classified into one size category

Large Canaries

Gibber Canary

Large Parakeets
Bourkes Parakeet – Canary-winged Parakeet – Crimson Rosella Parakeet – Derbyan Parakeet – Golden-manteled Parakeet – Grass Parakeet – Grey-cheeked Parakeet – Lineolated Parakeet – Moustached Parakeet – Plum-headed Parakeet – Red-rumped Parakeet
African Ringneck – Red-crowned Parakeet – English Budgies

Note: American Parakeets/Budgies may be too small for this category and instead check out the Smallest pet bird category for items and cages for them.
