It is actually the small pet parrots that have taken the spotlight. It seems that although the American population is in a recession, this has not had any direct impact on their purchasing pet parrots and other pet birds to add to their household. These statistics are based according to the National Pet Owners Survey put out by the American Pet Products Association for 2009-2010

In the survey the results show that Cockatiels are the most popular of bird among pet owners and rate at 35% of the pet birds owned by families in America.

The small pet parrots species of parakeets or budgies actually became less popular in this Pet Survey and fell to 32% of pet parrots owned.

The third place is actually a three-way tie at only 8% of Pet Parrots owned are the larger African Gray Parrot, tied in place with Conures and Lovebirds.
