Parrot

"The Many Types of Parrots Unlike other types of pet birds, parrots have: • Strong curved bills • An upright stance • Clawed feet with two toes pointing forward and two toes pointing backward • The ability to learn to mimic human speech and other sounds If you are looking for a bird that likes to be handled and may learn to talk or mimic sounds, then a parrot might be the right type of pet bird for you (instead of a Canary or Finch, for example). Below are the many different species of parrots commonly kept as pets, organized by size. Easy Parrot Training Every parrot has the capacity to be a great, lovable companion. Unfortunately, parrot training doesn’t always come easy. If you are having trouble with your parrot and you’re looking for answers, then you’ve come to the right place. First, it’s important to realize that a difficult parrot is a relatively normal parrot. Your parrot isn’t particularly “evil” — he or she is just not trained yet. Feed your bird only the best Your pet bird needs a certain type of bird food. There is no one-type-fits-all when it comes to your bird’s nutrition. Feeding your bird the right food is absolutely essential to his health (and lifespan!) Feeding your bird seed and water just isn’t going to cut it. And feeding different types of birds the same diet doesn’t work either. It’s important to provide a diet that is safe, healthy, and yummy. Packaged bird food comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ingredients. So, it’s important to know what is the best food for your individual bird. When shopping for food, there are a lot of things you need to take into consideration."
