So, you want to buy that little ball of feathers you have just met at a local pet store. Or, maybe you met a friend's pet bird and you would like to have one just like it. Well first you need to consider a few things, not all birds are right for all people.
Birds are intelligent, playful, loving, and social.
They will think of you as their flock, and may closely bond to a member of the family. Many owners of large parrots put the birds in their wills to be passed down to the next generation. This is one thing to consider. Some of the smaller birds may need to have a small indoor aviary if you have more than a couple. Some birds make great apartment pets.
