　　What kind of bird would be the best pet for a child? I give you the Top 3 birds that are good with kids.

　　Finches(雀类)

　　Finches are Number One on the list because they are easy to care for. These birds are good pets for very young children because they are beautiful to watch, and they“sing” very well. You also don’t need to play with finches very often.

　　You should not take finches out of their cages(笼子). If you decide on a finch for your child, get two or more so that they will have some friends.

　　Budgies(虎皮鹦鹉)

　　Budgies are great birds for kids, too. It’s fun playing with these colorful little birds for young children because they are small and easy to care for, and they can also learn to talk! They are very friendly and like playing with their owners. Choose a budgie if your child wants a bird that can be his or her best friend!

　　Cockatiels(澳洲鹦鹉)

　　Cockatiels are the largest of the Top 3 birds for kids, and they are fit for older children who have time to play with their pets. Cockatiels can learn to talk, whistle, and do cute tricks(诡计). They love their time out of the cage, and need a little more work to keep.
