Parrot Pets Integrating With Your Family
By Rodger G Allenby
You may not think that the way parrot pets were raised would
have as much effect as it does on how it might integrate into
your own family.
But being raised by human hands almost from birth, as opposed
to being raised by its own parents, can make all the difference
in whether or not it can be tamed enough to be a good pet. This
is just one of the things you’ll need to know, in order
to review your options and give proper pet care to your parrot,
if indeed you do decide to get one.
Choosing A Parrot To Suit Your Family
To begin with, since most parrots are quite vocal and sensitive
to the atmosphere around them, take a critical look at your own
household. If your family is a bit loud and raucous, then it may
affect the high strung bird so that it, too, is constantly squawking
and raising a fuss.
But on the other hand, if you live in a household where peace
and quiet is cherished and people rarely speak above a murmur,
then choosing a pet bird from a very talkative, active parrot
species that requires a lot of stimulation and attention is not
a wise course.
Younger Parrots Integrate Better With Humans
Younger parrot pets often sell for a higher price than those
that are even just a few months older. This is because the youngest
parrots, if they’ve been raised by human hands, are still able
to be socialized to integrate well with humans.
A parrot that is not raised by hand, and gets to be six months
or older, has almost passed the point where it can be completely
tamed. Despite their long age spans, parrots have pretty much
established their adult personality by the time they’re a year
old, and bird training or easy integration into a household is
likely to be much more difficult.
Carefully Research The Breed Before Making A Final Purchase Decision
The younger that people can acquire parrot pets, the more successfully
they can be assimilated into the household. But the family itself
also has to be prepared to deal with these types of pet birds,
since they require a lot of extra care and attention.
Research the particular breed of parrot you’re considering before
buying the bird, as this will give you a lot of information about
how to take care of it correctly. Knowing its level of socialization
and what sort of intelligence and personality it has, will help
you bring it into your home and make it an important member of
your family.
