Pet Bird Parrot Makes A Great Companion
By Rodger G Allenby
If you’ve got the space in your house or apartment, and are already
thinking of getting a pet bird parrot, why not go all the way
and get a macaw? This is the large, brightly colored parrot everyone
thinks of first, when they think of parrots.
Of course, this exotic pet bird won’t just sit there and look
pretty, but will require a certain degree of work on your part.
Yet if you’re willing to devote the time and attention it needs,
then this kind of parrot can be an excellent long-term companion
for you.
Interacting With Your Parrot
The qualities that make a macaw a good pet bird parrot include
a high degree of intelligence, curiosity and trainability. This
type of bird enjoys playing, and can be very loving to its human
companions.
However, because of its intelligence, it also requires a great
deal of mental stimulation, so you will need to spend a lot of
time with it. You will want to stay constantly engaged in bird
training to keep it behaving properly, yet it will be quite happy
to participate in this interaction.
Need A Large Bird Cage
You should also know that a macaw can sometimes get rather loud
and it doesn’t mimic human speech quite as clearly as other parrots.
A macaw will need quite a large pet bird cage, but will also
need to be able to come out of the cage at certain points during
the day, for exercise and social interaction.
Make Your Home Parrot Proof
This not only means that you will have to find a cage large enough
to allow it to spread and flap its wings inside, but that you’ll
have to "parrot-proof" your house or apartment as well.
This parrot loves to chew things but you should only give it
toys of wood or rope rather than plastic, which it can break easily.
And you need to protect things outside the cage that it might
chew on and break into smaller pieces that it could swallow.
A Great Companion
A macaw as a pet bird parrot can make a great companion, and
the two of you have the potential to be engaged with and entertained
by each other for as long as several decades. You simply need
to be sure you have the space, time and patience to give it the
full extent of the pet care it needs.
This is a pet that can be a loving, playful friend to you for
much of your life, so you must be sure you are ready for the responsibilities
as well as the joys of this companionship.
