A Bird Will Always Be A Bird!

Experiencing the joy and uncanny love from a tame pet parrot is pure bliss. It would be surprising for those who do not know about parrots to see the amazing ability parrots have to connect with people and crave enormous amounts of attention and intellect behaviors towards a family. Like I said, it can be uncanny, very surprising for those that have not had the chance to experience this.

While some birds are not exactly fit for a typical household like macaws,amazons, and cockatoos, others like budgies, cockatiels, parrotlets or green-cheeked conures are great for most loving families. I love the bigger birds but I do agree that they are for experienced parrot owners only, given that they are high on the list for being unwanted after the glam wears off within a few months. Screaming, demanding attention, and high maintenance of messy cages are just a few of the real joys that will be brought to attention and only tolerated for a lifetime for those truly patience and passionate for the species.

After all, parrots are not domesticated, so of course they will act like their wild family members around the world. Would you reprimand your child for doing things they are suppose to do? Parrots naturally flick food out of their nest hole, keeping only what they want to eat, scream as a means of communication, and get water all over the place when they take a bath. They are a bird, let's not forget that.

If you have pet birds, I encourage you to take the time to remind yourself of how special a bird really is. How lucky are they to soar above the earth and view the world at a distance that we cannot naturally do? Without them, could we really fly with our own dreams? Not really. The power of wings can be felt within all of us. Hand-raised birds may never experience the free feeling of flying, they know no different as we humans are now mommy and daddy, but they will know happiness or neglect.

Sit back and evaluate your birds living environment, emotional health, fresh food diet, and amount of sunshine your parrot is experiencing. Your heart should shine with what love your parrot can offer to your family! Enjoy your day!!
