You may be able to find a bird that has all of those qualities...but it won't be towards you. It will be towards it's owner....I have an eclectus and they take alot of work.....especially if you want one that does tricks and talks. I hope you are also getting one for the right reasons.......because you need to be able to spend alot of time with them. If you are looking for something in a cage....get a finch. You are awfully young to get a bird that demands too much attention.

: I need help finding the perfect bird. I want a small bird (under up to 14" if it has a big tail)
: It doesnt need to be colorful,
: I want a relatively good talker.
: It should also be very affectionate towards me.
: It should be playful and livey and charmingly eccentric, (like the orange-chinned parakeet AKA tovi, bee bee)
: I should be able to teach it tricks.
: It can not be loud!
: But the bad part is I'm 12 and dont have a lot of money soooo.... It shouldn't be too expensive to buy. Maybe around $0-200.
: I live in NY near Poughkeepsie,Carmel and Danbury,Connecticut.
: Are there any adoption places that I could get a tame bird that would have these qualities?
: Thank you for all who respond!
