There are many species of parrot that can make great pets so it is suggested taking a look in your local pet shop to see what is on offer. You may be able to choose from cockatoos, lovebirds, parakeets, and macaws.
Parakeets and lovebirds are a bit smaller than cockatoos or macaws which might be a better idea if this is the first time you have owned a pet bird. Recognize that a pet parrot will have to be taken to the veterinarian always since birds in general have a tendency to be susceptible to illness. To prevent tragedy it is important to take your bird to the veterinarian at the first sign of any illness.
Birds need to be groomed regularly and this includes checking their plumage for any indications of illness. You also need to buy a cage for your pet parrot, large enough to accommodate it comfortably, a member of staff at a pet shop will probably be able to help you choose a large enough cage to house your bird in
Parrots need extraordinary food and a steady supply of fresh water in order to stay healthy. There are numerous brands of parrot food available, and it is a good idea to take a look at the prices to determine if you have the money to invest in feeding your parrot high quality bird food.
Most pet parrots are noisy especially during the training process so if you don?t like this type of noise you should maybe reconsider buying a different pet, perhaps a fish. If you don?t really mind the squawking, you should make sure you can manage the training session that will be required, there are many useful guides available on how to train a parrot to talk
One of the more stupendous things about parrots is that they do not like to be caged with other breeds of parrots. They are all the same social creatures and will do best if they have at least one other of their own kind to talk to. So if you want two parrots buy two parakeets, or two macaws, but do not mix types, especially in the same cage.
If you are prepared to care and train a parrot properly it can become a great pet and a wonderful addition to your family, but you must be prepared to take the responsibilities that come along with this type of bird. Try to ensure that your children understand what it takes to care for the bird too, raising a new pet parrot can become a great family project that everyone can enjoy and participate in.
