My Quaker is quite loud and territorial but for some reason my
Tiel bonded with him, they look forward to playtime together.

I have 8 birds and find my Tiels are the best and easiest to
care for. I enjoy all of them but when someone asks me what
would I suggest for a first bird I always say a Tiel would be a
good choice.

I don't know much about Conures, except that they are beautiful.
My 4 year old has never laid an egg and I'm terrified about it.
Hope everything goes well. I'm sure you will choose the right
companion for your little one.
