Reasons Why You Should Buy Parrots To Make Pets

Parrots are one of the most entertaining and beautiful birds. They are smart, can learn tricks, and provide companionship to some people. Parrots can make excellent pets if you're willing to put in the time and commitment. If you are thinking of buying a bird, you may have many options but they can be the best option to spend money on.They are very amazing and can be the best pet and the best companion you want. Here are some reasons why you must buy parrots: Parrots Are Extremely Intelligent Parrots have a high degree of intelligence. Studies have revealed that parrots have advanced capabilities to solve problems and communicate, and they can understand human-constructed concepts like math (addition and subtraction), colors, and shapes. It's been assessed that parrots have the same intelligence levels as a 7-8-year-old kid – that's quite impressive. Not only is their intelligence extremely impressive, but it's also very entertaining. You can spend hours talking to, communicating with, and teaching your parrot new things. They Are Easy To Train Training your parrot to talk, count, mimic, and learn colors can be an amazing hobby and is a perfect way to fulfill your time. However, remember that parrots don't just pick up on things when they are taught to do so. They always listen and can pick up on words even when you're not trying to teach them. They Are Beautiful Parrots are one of the most beautiful pets in the world. There are over 350 species of parrot in the world, and some of them display brilliant, bright, and beautiful colors in their feathers. While most parrot species are considered beautiful, some have more brilliant displays of colors. The world's most beautiful parrot species are The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, Electus parrots, The Bronze Winged Parrot, The Dusky Lory, Galah parrots, Blue, and Yellow Macaw parrots, The African Grey parrot, Sun Parakeet, Hyacinth Macaw, Scarlet Macaw parrots. They Will Always Let You Know Their Needs Parrots are easy to read because they always tell you when they need anything. Parrots are vocal pets and will never stay quiet if hungry, bored, or unhappy. When something is bad or when they are unhappy, you will understand it. Parrots who can talk may convey their dissatisfaction in words, while others may squawk at you until you give them what they need. Either way, you will not need to assume when something is wrong because your dear pet will let you know. They Can Get Along With Other Pets Parrots can get along with other pets. Parrots can cohabitate with cats and dogs as long as they are introduced slowly. Dogs and cats should never be left unsupervised with their parrots, as instincts could kick in, and your parrot could be in danger of attack. You can also keep other pets if you have a parrot. Parrots can adapt to almost any situation, unlike dogs that don't get along well with others. It may take them some time to become comfortable with other pets, but it is possible. Advantages Of Buying Parrots Online Buying a bird online affords a prospective owner a wider choice of parrots, especially in colder climates where bird breeders are generally fewer in number. Your pet shop may only have adult birds or may only carry more common species such as Canaries, Budgies, and Cockatiels. In addition, even some of the best stores will provide you with low prices. However, you can find Parrots for sale near me in your location to get the loving bird.

Pipe Dream Pets

There are a handful of pets I would die to own, but for one reason or another, I can’t.

FOX. Russia has a domestication experiment with foxes, and exports them to one company in the US. These foxes are as domesticated as dogs, and they run from $6k and up. The price is not the biggest deterrent to me. The biggest deterrent is the fox’s behavior and lifestyle. The owner of Juniper the fox has described in detail the downsides of owning a fox, namely that she can’t travel because she can’t have a sitter and foxes are illegal in several states; Juniper has destroyed multiple pieces of furniture by being herself, engaging in activities such as digging (in her couches), possession hoarding (food, shoes, pillows), and peeing. Fox pee is very much like cat pee in that it is extremely hard to get rid of. Juniper’s owner has stated “you smell it the second you walk in, that a fox lives here.” Another reason for concern is that there ar4e no rabies vaccines approved for foxes, which is the reason why Juniper can’t ever be babysat when her mom goes away - if Juniper were to bite someone, she may have to be put down and her brain tested for rabies. Foxes are off the table for me.

SEAHORSES. I love seahorses. I really do. I always swore I would have some, but as I researched them and their care, and as I researched saltwater tanks, I realized that I may never be able to have seahorses and keep them healthy. I might be able to keep them alive, but living is not the same as thriving, and I don’t want to keep any animal that can’t thrive with me. Seahorses are just too delicate for my clumsiness.

AFRICAN GREY PARROT. Oh boy do I love African greys. And oh boy could I never have an African grey, for nearly the same reason I couldn’t have seahorses. I doubt my ability to provide an environment engaging and stimulating enough for what is essentially a feathered child. Maybe if I had no other pets and no children, but I do want those things. And just like with foxes, there are things parrots do that I just don’t think I could live with. Parrots are large, noisy birds, and I do not like noise. They are messy and with how big their enclosure has to be, plus their out of cage wanderings, I don’t think I’d ever be okay with the amount of MESS they’d produce, or the amount of things they would ruin by investigating it in their parrot way (chewing on things, taking things apart, etc). Finally, parrots are tame, not domesticated. Tame animals tend to have more difficulty as pets than actual domesticated animals. Feather plucking and self mutilation are a high possibility. I could never watch my bird hurt itself because it was unhappy with my best ability to provide for it. I love African greys tremendously but I severely doubt my ability to keep one happy. This also goes for any large bird, and wild-caught animals.

This is not to say that people who have these animals are bad or abusive. I’ve seen people on this site keep their parrots beautifully, I’ve seen aquariums keep seahorses, and Juniper’s owner does a wonderful job with her. I am saying that I could not do it, even as much as I want to. Their needs exceed what I could provide for them at my best.

The African grey parrot’s ability to talk and mimic sounds makes this medium-sized parrot a captivating companion. African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and seem very attuned to their people’s emotions. The African grey parrot is not just a top talker — this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence, which gives them the moniker “The Einsteins of the Bird World.”

Care & Feeding

There’s a reason why the African grey is often considered the poster bird for parrot intelligence — not only is this bird inclined to amass a large vocabulary, African greys also demonstrate an aptitude for recognizing the meaning of words and phrases.

The grains and seeds are mostly whole and formed into a berry shape, it encourages African greys to hold, nibble, and even play with the Nutri-Berries. This mimics the foraging that African greys do in the wild.

African grey parrots are more prone to deficiency in vitamin-A/beta-carotene, and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale. Vitamin-D deficiency is another concern, especially for greys on a poor diet. Offering a balanced, pelleted diet, such as Nutri-Berries, for the main diet of an African grey helps prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies. A grey that consumes a pelleted diet generally does not need vitamin supplements added to its food.

Personality & Behavior

Most bird keepers believe that only an experienced bird enthusiast should keep a grey. They are complex parrots, highly sensitive, and more than a little demanding. They are also charming and brilliant, but this match of sensitivity and brains can lead to behavioral issues. They are creatures of habit, and even a small change in routine can make a sensitive grey unhappy. They are prone to plucking and chewing their feathers, among other bad habits. Anecdotally, the TAG has a hardier attitude and may be better for households with a lot of people coming and going. The CAG prefers a little less chaos.

African greys are social parrots that need a lot of hands-on time, however, they aren’t “cuddlebugs.” They will tolerate some head scratching and a little bit of petting, but they do not appreciate intense physical contact, though some individuals don’t mind a little snuggling. Every bird has individual tastes and preferences. A grey can also become a “one person bird,” even if every member of the household socializes with it from the beginning.

African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as foraging and puzzle toys.

Speech & Sound

Much of the grey’s appeal comes from its talking ability. It is among the best talkers in the parrot family, able to repeat words and phrases after hearing them just once or twice. This bird reaches full talking ability around a year of age, and most individuals become capable mimics much earlier.

Not only will a grey develop an outstanding vocabulary, research has shown that this species can come to understand what it’s saying. The most famous CAG, Alex, and his colleague, Dr. Irene Pepperberg, may be the reason for the popularity of this species, and certainly for its high profile. Alex and Dr. Pepperberg worked together for 30 years at Brandeis University until his unfortunate death in 2007, due to a catastrophic event associated to arteriosclerosis (“hardening of the arteries”). In their three decades of research, Dr. Pepperberg taught Alex to recognize and identify objects, colors, and shapes. Alex could also understand the concepts of same and different, category, and could even count objects. Though Alex was on his way to much more complex thought processes, including how to read, his fellow African greys Griffin and Arthur (AKA “Wart”) are continuing to work with Dr. Pepperberg trying to reach the point that Alex had reached and even further.

But just because greys are smart and may choose to talk rather than scream, it’s a mistake to believe that they aren’t noisy. They aren’t as loud or persistent as some of the South American species, but they will learn household sounds and use them tirelessly to the dismay of guardians. Imagine the microwave beeping incessantly, or a cellphone ringing madly without the luxury of turning it off.

Health & Common Conditions

African greys are especially susceptible to feather picking, calcium deficiency, vitamin-A and vitamin-D deficiency, respiratory infection, psittacosis and psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD).
