Adopt a Parrotlet in Toronto & the GTA
The smallest parrot with the biggest attitude.
Parrotlets are barely bigger than your thumb and absolutely convinced they're macaws. They're quiet enough for any apartment, live 15–20 years, and form strong one-person bonds. Because they're fearless, they need consistent gentle handling to stay tame. An adopted, hand-tame parrotlet is a hilarious, devoted little shadow.

Are parrotlets good apartment birds?
One of the best — their chirps are soft and they don't scream. Neighbours will never know you have a parrot.
Do parrotlets stay tame?
Only with regular handling — skip a few weeks and that tiny dinosaur attitude comes back. Daily short sessions keep them sweet.
Can parrotlets live with other birds?
Generally no — they're famously feisty and territorial despite their size. A parrotlet is best as a single bird or housed well apart from others.
