Having a Parrot is not as easy as just teaching it to talk or feeding it. You also need to realize this will take time, money and patience too. It is a big responsibility.
Parrots can live as long as a human. With the right effort and care buying a baby parrot can be well worth it. Think hard about it though it is a big responsibility, weigh up the positives and negatives. If it is still yes then go to a parrot breeder to buy your baby parrot.
Although most breeders go out of their way to make sure you know everything you need to know about your new parrot, beware as there are some unscrupulous breeders out there. Parrot breeders that are only in the trade for money usually don't raise their parrot babies with the same level of care and love as a good parrot breeder especially one who hand rears and feeds their baby parrots. Ask around and do some research to lessen the odds of dealing with unscrupulous parrot breeders.
When you buy your parrot there are several things to check out and verify first. Like the parrots age which can be verified on its leg band. Also, another really important thing to know is if your parrot was raised and fed by hand. A good indicator is if the parrot will take food from your hand.
The best parrot breeders raise their parrots by hand feeding them so they are happy, healthy, well adjusted loving birds. Obviously a hand fed parrot will command a higher price. Some breeders cut corners and do not hand feed their baby parrots, yet they might claim they have. You will notice the difference.
Good breeders are poles apart from those who are not. They will answer your questions and show you how they raise and hand feed their parrots. They will usually show you their aviaries too. The affection they have for their baby parrots will be self evident.
Parrots are highly intelligent birds that will certainly attract the eye and become the focus of attention in any room. It is so important to know about parrot care as it can mean the difference between having a relationship that is fulfilling and having a problem child with the terrible twos to deal with.
As a member of your family your parrot will require effort on your part to learn how to train them and make them a part of the family without which you may find this could become difficult.
Putting your parrot in its cage when you get home from the parrot breeder is only the start as tempting as it may be to think otherwise. You need to handle your parrot correctly and spot signs of boredom, upset, irritability and stress. Otherwise you are in for a rough time. By learning this you will have many happy years together simply because you put in the hard work up front.
Parrot care including diet and exercise will lead to a long life as your parrot could live 20, 30 or more years. Noticing what your parrot does when it is happy and healthy will hold you in great stead if you notice any changes such as lethargy, loss of appetite, discharge from eyes or diarrhea. These are symptoms you need to bring to the attention of your avian vet. Get to know and pay attention to your parrots well being.
Help your parrot live a long time. The more immediate your detection of anything being wrong and getting it treated, the better.
