to start off, I strongly don't recommend you buy a bird, or *anything alive* for that matter, from a petstore.

If your looking for a "snuggle" birdie, I wouldnt really recommend a conure since in general they kinda have attitudes and are known to bite the hand that feeds them ((we have one, one second hes dancing and giggling, the next second hes turned into Boogie Bird, The Human-Destroyer.)) Cockatoos, in my experience, have always been pretty friendly and "snuggly" ((that might just be me though)) My favorite birds are cockatoos, african greys, and macaws the toys we have for our macaw and cockatoo are mainly kong toys, our smaller birds don't really like to play ((their seniors))

I think itd be a good idea for you to check out birdie books/magazines, "Bird Talk" is usually a good magazine, I learn something new each time, almost. good luck
