Common
Pet Birds
We
would like to provide some information about a variety of common
pet birds. We hope the information on these pages will help you
determine the perfect bird for you. Before you jump into buying
that cute little bird you saw once or heard about, it is well worth
your time to research it. Some birds are more difficult to handle
than others. The worst thing that can happen is to find out you
made a really big mistake, both for you and the bird.

The
Second-Hand Parrot
Most
birds end up with at least 2 homes in their lives either due to
longevity (outliving their owners) or owners who have taken on much
more than they ever thought possible. Changing homes is very difficult
for a bird. Probably more than any other pet. There are things that
one would never know at decision time, but there are things that
one should know. What we can't know is what our lives will be like
1,5,10 years down the road. We could have different jobs, different
work hours, changes in family life. What one can know is typical
behaviors and needs of these precious birds. It is a responsibility
to know, understand, and evaluate. Impulse decisions should be avoided
at all cost.
