Cockatiel or Budgie?

[Curlyfatbottom]

i don't know about cockatiel being smarter then budgie
i think bird with the biggest vocabulary should win
i know for a fact the budgie can pick up more word then teil
but the only down fall is that they don't speck as clear as the big bird
check out victor and maylor talking budgie

I have known both kinds of birds and I personally like the cockatiel better. The one I used to know was very affectionate and also talked. He said "Thank you" when you gave him food or opened the cage. And said "Pretty bird" to himself in the mirror. LOL He unfortunately passed away a year ago. He was hand-fed and a super super tame bird. Sweetest bird I've ever known. He would cuddle with you and let you pet his head.
