Parrots As Pets


A complicated relationship exists between parrots and humans. Their sociable and affectionate nature makes them popular as pets, but some feral population pose frigidity. The domesticated Budgerigar is the most popular species of parrots as pets. Their intelligence, bright colors, and capability to imitate human vocalizations distinguish them from other kinds of home pets.

A cage or aviary suits well for parrots as pets, though tamed parrots should be allowed to stand regularly on the perch.   

Most of the parrot species are basically kept as pets which include macaws, cockatoos, African grays, Eclectus, Caiques, Parakeets and lovebirds. Different species possess different temperament, talking ability, noise level, Cuddliness among people and their needs. Role modeling effects the parrots growth and personality eminently. However love and patience are essential items when dealing with the same.

Close and affectionate bonds are developed with parrots while making companionship. To achieve this act, one should take enormous amount of care, attention and intellectual stimulation.  

Some parrots have destructive mentality when they are emotional, so a very large cage and regular supply of innovative toys, branches, and perches are quite essential. The extreme intelligence of parrots enables them to learn tricks quickly which is both good and bad as it may allow them to get whatever they want from you such as treats or toys.

Parrots as pets are not easy with less maintenance as they require feeding, veterinary care, grooming, training, exercise and social interaction for good health. Parrots are the sweetest living beings and are wonderful to have them as pets.
