Pet Parrots
There are many different branches of the parrot family that can be kept as pets, including macaws and parakeets. All these birds vary in size, plumage, disposition and longevity.
The majority of parrots originate from tropical forest type habitats, but your pet parrot will likely have begun its life in a cage and will have become used to human contact at an early age. However without training, some parrots can become aggressive and bite or screech continually. These types of behaviour are common in parrots and are relatively simple to rectify. Parrots are highly intelligent animals and can learn new ways very quickly.
Parrots require a sizeable living space and plenty of attention but their faithful friendship and endearing character traits are well worth the lay out of time and energy required to care for them.
When choosing a parrot for a pet, opt for an infant bird and allocate some time each day to calmly and gently tame him.
Your parrot may display hostile behaviour towards you if there is a lack of trust in your relationship, but this trust can easily be built with a small amount of time and effort.
Offering treats by hand is a good way to increase the human contact that your parrot engages in, be sure to move your hand towards him very slowly and calmly. When your parrot is at ease with you, he may voluntarily step into your hand. Talking to him gently whenever you have contact will encourage him to relax in your presence and may even encourage him to talk back to you!
