6 things that we have to consider before buying a bird
What to start with?
First we have to consider the following :
What can I afford?
The price of on parrot varies in large bounds in dependence with
the species. You can buy for example a budgie for less than 10
$. The price of the cockatiel varies between 25 and 35 $. An
Amazonian parrot and grey parrot can be purchased for about 300
? 400$, cockatoo for 1,000 $...... and the price of some parrots
reaches $15,000! This is one of the initial questions which you
have to answer.
How much space will the bird need?
Larger birds and even some of the small ones are very active
physically and need big cages and space in which to play.
Is there any free time for the bird?
Probably this is the most important question. Birds are
intelligent, playful and mostly ? social ? creatures. Will you
have time to play with your bird? To care properly of it? Will
it have the chance to be a part of your family? Consider the
fact that birds live fairly long. A small parrot cockatiel lives
for 20 years and more! Amazon or African grey parrot can live
for 50, 60 and there are documented cases for birds that lived
up to the respectable age of 100 years! Can you devote to this?
It is not unusual to inherit birds for previous generations.
Don't buy a bird if you think that you will soon get bored of
it.
How noisy is the bird? Will the neighbors murmur?
Budgies and cockatiel are comparatively quiet. They are suitable
to look after in a flat. Moluxco cockatoo could live in flat
just if you have neighbors around you and six floors above /
below you that like listening screams to cracking their ear -
drums. The African grey parrot tends to be one of comparatively
non-noisy parrots. Certainly, there are individual differences
between birds. Somewhere there could be cockatoo, that don ' t
make noisy to heaven. If really there could be found such, an
enterprising person could make a fortune of it. Remember that
noise is a subjective and relative sensation. A bird can be
considered as ? non-noisy ? only at the background of another
one, considered as noisy.
How ? destructive ? could a bird be?
Do you possess peerless old furniture? Rare books? Remember that
these birds have strong beaks,. Some of them are less inclined
to ? nibbling ? than others, but nibbling is completely natural
behavior for them.
Does the parrot need special food?
Lorry parrots, for example, need a specialized diet. Do you have
an opportunity and means to provide it? Once you have made a
preliminary investigation and have decided what kind of parrot
you want, you can go looking for it and buy it. NEVER, NEVER BUY
A PARROT IMPULSIVELY!
