Geronimo talking
I'm looking for a nice pet bird that can talk, but every bird that seems perfect, is illegal in California
any suggestions?
As far as I know, the only parrot that is illegal in CA is the quaker. All other parrots are OK. Starlings/mynahs are illegal, except the "hill mynah" - which is the only one commonly kept. Crows and ravens are also illegal.

Dr. Susan Brown was having so much fun. “I was so excited,” she said. “I was talking about how great this was. [But when] I looked around, I saw Marty, the pet owner, crying.
“I said, ‘Oh, my Gosh! Why are you crying? Don’t you see how she (the pet) ‘gets it,’ [how] she understands what you’re trying to tell her?’

‘But now I see we can communicate and I have a very effective means of modifying her behavior. She’s so intelligent, she’s so beautiful mind-wise.’”
Marty originally saw her animal as “troublesome, difficult and problem-making,” said renowned exotic animal veterinarian Dr. Susan Brown.
But thanks to an approximate 10-minute in-home consultation with Dr. Brown, the pet, an alpaca, had, indeed, changed.
“I believe animals want to be safe and they want to understand what we want,” Dr. Brown said. “When you see that light go off [for the animal], that’s empowering.
Talking Parrot. saw this parrot on the tv show. very beautiful and lovley.
* Quaker Parrot: Quaker Parrots are less colorful than some, but this talking parrot can begin to mimic words as early as its sixth month. * African Grey Parrot: These are said to be the most talented talking parrots. I don’t think there are a lot of birds that are illegal to keep in California, unless they are not household birds. I am unaware of “talking birds” being illegal to own in California (USA)....
