I'm down to my ekkie and my parrotlets.

There are a LOT of different types of birds. The 'common' people have teils and budgies, and I hear of the occasional conure. But, if you look a little bit, you can find a lot of different species at bird fairs, bird papers, things of that nature.

Cockatiels and budgies are the most common in Australia - but then they're native here, so ner. =P After that I'd say galahs.

My husband is from the UK, and he grew up with a wild-caught Blue Front Amazon, but I don't know how common they are, there. I rarely saw any birds at all in UK pet stores, but when I did, they were usually budgies.

Birds are very rarely sold in shops over here due to the animal welfare act.

When they are it's mostly finches, canaries and budgies with the odd teil.

I have a Red Lory, Ring-necked Parakeet, Lovebirds and live in Hong Kong.
Pet Parrots are very common in Hong Kong.
You can find rare species such as Cape Parrot, Buffon Macaw, Blue Naped Parrot and so on from local pet store and most of them are captive bred.
