I'm gathering questions that have been posed to us over the years and researching some answers. I'm thinking of buying that sweet, adorable bird I saw in the pet store yesterday. Birds are such wonderful and facinating creatures that 'impulse buys' are all too common. Consider carefully how a parrot can be successfully integrated into your lifestyle.
Some species tolerate different levels of activity and inactivity differently.
You do not have to be wealthy to own a bird. You do, however, need to have adequate resources to properly care for your new friend. The point is, there needs to be financial responsibility with any pet ownership. Birds are intellient creatures, parrots even more so. Sometime the talkers require saint level patience.
