#parrots eggs incubator for sale

[despazito]

could u elaborate on "parrots make bad pets"? not disagreeing (far from it) just interested to see your take! looking to learn more about this

(i've gotten this ask before so please don't mind i'm just gonna paste a writeup i did a while ago)

There’s a blog run by an animal behaviourist who specializes in parrots that i really enjoy reading, she has a very good writeup on the state of companion parrots as an industry: The Inconvenient Truth About Cockatoos

so basically the average person usually cannot meet the needs of a parrot, especially medium and ESPECIALLY large species. they are long lived, extremely social and intelligent animals who are very demanding if you are their only companion. in my mind the most 'ethical' pet parrot setup is having some pairs of budgies in a dedicated bird room filled with foraging enrichment and doing some basic command training as a bird-human bonding activity instead of cuddles.

most pet parrots are hand reared or even hatched in incubators by breeders and are never given a chance to be raised by their parents, and virtually none stay with their parents until a natural weaning age before getting sold. which is wild considering it is fucking ILLEGAL to do that to puppies or kittens.

A parrot isn't really born wired for human companionship in the same way that a dog or cat is. they imprint on their parents which sets the blueprint of their kin, and they generally want to only form extremely close bonds with others of their kin. To get a very people-oriented parrot, it has to think it’s people.

This is different from the socializing practiced in raising cats and dogs or acclimating ferals to people. socializing means exposure to things so that the animal doesn't grow up to see the target as a threat, and ultimately that the target is something that can be very rewarding to spend time around. A dog raised with its mother and socialized to people still understands that it's a dog, it can get along with other dogs, but can also form strong bonds to people. They actually read both dog and human body language and legitimately have an awareness that we are different species.

The companion parrot is raised to think it’s people, and as a result many lose the ability to form bonds with their own kind. in fact the reason many breeders remove eggs or chicks from the nest is arguing that the parent birds don’t really know how to raise their chicks- because they themselves were hand reared and never learned how to parent from their parents! it seems that, like us, parenting isn't perfectly hardwired in parrots and they need to learn the skill from their families, oftentimes even staying to help their parents raise younger siblings!

That's why it's not at all uncommon for pair bonded breeding birds to be sold as a completely separate product from companion birds in many aviary operations. there's so many ads for people selling breeding parrots that fucking hate humans or are semi tame specifically listed for sale as breeders not as pets:

then their babies are bred for the pet market so they are taken either before or right after hatching to get hand reared and imprinted onto humans, because a parrot-bonded parrot just won't be as interested in forming those close human companionships you see in viral videos. this isn't the case for all aviaries, i want to acknowledge there are smaller scale breeders who have tamer breeding birds, but big producers can have borderline feral pairs and the point i'm trying to make is when you socialize a parrot to either the human world or parrot world, it's often at the expense of the other.

most trouble starts once the parrot begins reaching the age of sexual maturity. they stop being openly cuddly to most people, and will try to pair bond with their primary caretaker. It's not uncommon for this to lead to aggression towards other family members because parrots don't share partners, they can even do this to babies they are jealous of!

But a human can't become a suitable mate substitute for a parrot, and some of their mating behaviours such as regurgitating on you can seem straight up gross so the human then shuns the parrot and shuts down their advances. this can make your bird become very sexually frustrated that can lead to more unwanted behaviours and even health emergencies such as prolapse. we lead them on by stroking their chest and backs (only something bonded pairs do, you are essentially jerking off your parrot when you do this..) then reject them with no other outlet for their natural urges, and spaying/neutering isn't an option either! so they're stuck in a psychological purgatory of being unable to fulfill their instincts. and if they're in an understimulating environment and left alone for most of the day in addition to all that, frankly i think that's just an awful life to give to an animal we allegedly love!

we essentially alienate them, and when they don’t have people around to meet their extremely high social needs because you work a 9-5, even if there are other birds around, the lonely or frustrated human-bonded parrot can become depressed and self mutilate.

parrots that were left with their parents, are raised as parrots, and weaned at their own natural pace overwhelmingly do not exhibit these destructive behaviours.

 a productive relationship with a pet parrot is one that fosters independence, not dependence, on the human companion. the most responsible parrot owners should strive to act more as a zookeeper to their parrot instead of cuddling it and creating a ‘velcro’ bird glued to the hip, and socialize with them via training sessions instead of letting their birds indulge in pair bonding behaviours like petting and preening which leads to sexual frustration and aggression or self mutilation.

Ultimately I believe any parrot hand reared and imprinted onto humans is some degree of psychologically damaged and suffers from the parrot equivalent of a developmental trauma, they have been robbed of a normal parrot life and it cannot be undone.

SO many parrot rescues are completely flooded with unwanted pets, many with tough behavioural challenges (for example it's not uncommon for parrots to be reactive to an entire gender, so that cuts the adopter pool immediately in half). and these patterns can be difficult to break especially without the aid of a behaviourist. and the thing still has another 40 years of life left in it but nobody wants to adopt because it's another "crazy bitey bird that hates everyone", has reached sexual maturity so it's no longer as friendly, and it's much easier to start from scratch so folks choose to just buy another baby and keep the cycle going.

And none of that even touches on the rampant poaching that keeps supplying the trade in many parts of the world. and that's why everyone should have domestic chickens or pigeons.

Understanding the Importance of Parrot Eggs

Parrots are fascinating and intelligent birds that are known for their vibrant colors and ability to mimic human speech. These beautiful birds lay eggs as a way to reproduce and expand their population. Parrot eggs are a crucial part of the parrot life cycle, and understanding their importance is essential for anyone interested in these magnificent creatures.

Parrot eggs are typically laid in a nest, which is carefully constructed by the female parrot. The eggs are usually laid in clutches, with the size of the clutch varying depending on the species of parrot. The female parrot will then incubate the eggs, keeping them warm and safe until they hatch.

The incubation period for parrot eggs can vary greatly depending on the species of parrot. Some parrot eggs may hatch in as little as 18 days, while others may take up to 30 days or more bird eggs for sale. During this time, the female parrot will diligently care for the eggs, turning them regularly to ensure they develop properly.

Once the eggs hatch, the newborn parrots, known as chicks, are completely dependent on their parents for food, warmth, and protection. The parents will work tirelessly to feed and care for their chicks until they are old enough to fledge and begin to explore the world on their own.

Parrot eggs are essential for the survival of the species, as they serve as the starting point for the next generation of parrots. Without healthy, viable eggs, the population of parrots would decline rapidly, leading to potential extinction. This highlights the critical importance of protecting and preserving parrot nests and eggs in their natural habitat.

In conclusion, parrot eggs play a vital role in the life cycle of these magnificent birds. Understanding the importance of parrot eggs can help us appreciate and protect these beautiful creatures for generations to come.

The Fascinating World of Parrot Eggs

Parrots are beautiful and intelligent birds that are known for their vibrant colors and playful personalities. One of the most fascinating aspects of parrots is their reproduction process, particularly when it comes to their eggs. Parrot eggs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and each one is a marvel of nature.

Parrot eggs are typically laid in a clutch, which is a group of eggs laid at one time. The size of the clutch can vary depending on the species of parrot, with some species laying only one or two eggs, while others can lay up to five or six. The shape of parrot eggs is usually elongated or oval, and they can range in size from small to large, depending on the species.

Parrot eggs also come in a wide range of colors, from white to cream to blue and green bird eggs for sale. The color of the eggs can be influenced by factors such as diet, genetics, and even environmental conditions. Some species of parrots, such as the Eclectus parrot, have eggs that are different colors depending on the sex of the bird.

The incubation period for parrot eggs can also vary, with some species hatching in as little as 18 days, while others can take up to 30 days to hatch. During the incubation period, the parent birds take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm and protected. The eggs are also turned regularly to ensure that the developing embryos receive an even amount of heat and oxygen.

Once the eggs hatch, the baby parrots, known as chicks, are born naked and helpless. They rely on their parents for warmth, food, and protection. The parents feed the chicks a specialized diet of regurgitated food, which provides them with the nutrients they need to grow and develop.

Overall, parrot eggs are truly a marvel of nature, with their diverse shapes, sizes, colors, and incubation periods. The process of incubating and hatching parrot eggs is a delicate and intricate one, and it showcases the incredible bond between parent and offspring in the avian world.
