Are sun conures good for condos?

Usually not. Sun conures are affectionate and fun, but their calls are very loud and carry through walls. A green-cheek conure is the quieter conure for a condo.

Can I keep a parrot in a small apartment?

Yes, if you choose a smaller, quieter species, give it daily time outside the cage, and keep a steady routine. We'll help you pick the right bird for your space at a visit.

Quiet Parrots for Condos & Apartments in the Philippines

Q: Quiet Parrots for Condos & Apartments in the Philippines

The quietest parrots for condos are cockatiels, green-cheek conures and African lovebirds. No parrot is silent, but these call softly, are small enough for a compact home, and settle into a routine. Avoid sun conures and cockatoos in thin-walled units: their calls carry.

Tips for keeping a parrot in a condo

Every parrot calls, especially at sunrise and sunset. What matters is how loud and how often. Smaller, calmer species with a steady daily routine are the best fit for shared walls.

Keep a regular sleep schedule with a covered cage at night
Give foraging toys so your bird stays busy, not bored
Place the cage away from shared walls and the front door
Spend time together daily: a lonely bird is a loud bird
Check your building's pet rules before you buy
