Wings and Beaks

Somehow we found ourselves in a pet store. We still can't figure out why we were there, we had no pets and had no intentions of becoming pet parents. It was probably just something to do to pass the time that Saturday afternoon. A cute, cuddly and playful little green and yellow parrot caught our attention right away! He came right up to us, tilted his head to be scratched and entertained us with acrobatic moves. Of course he was meant to be our bird, so out came the credit card and home with us he went.

The first week was great! It was a pleasure to have such a sweet little parrot in our home. The second week was full of buyer's remorse. This cute little bird was monotonously noisy and demanding of our time. The pet store offered no remedies, we did not know any bird owners, it was a frustrating experience. 

Four birds and years later we have learned how to live with parrots and have taught our parrots how to live with us. We have a very connected human/parrot bond that is irreplaceable. Parrots are unique in their personalities, character and socialization abilities. The key to developing and enjoying an exceptional relationship with a parrot begins with you. It is essential to educate yourself about the dynamics of parrot behavior.

The decision to own a parrot should be made carefully. Where you get your avian companion is equally important. There are hundreds of bird breeders raising new chicks continuously and there are also hundreds of birds that need new homes. Parrot adoption can be an excellent choice to consider. Providing a displaced parrot with a loving new home is a rewarding experience. The Parrot Education and Adoption Center © (PEAC) is an excellent resource for learning about parrot adoption.
