Important Things to Know About Parrots
1️⃣ Parrots Usually Choose One Person
Birds often bond with a favorite person and may only tolerate others minimally.
2️⃣ Birds & Children
Birds are generally not ideal for homes with children, dogs, or other birds. They are social flock animals and require a communal area for mental health.
3️⃣ Birds Bite
If a bird bites, it is a sign of stress or fear. Trust must be earned gradually.
4️⃣ Parrots Are Not Dominance-Based
Refusing to leave a perch is about safety and comfort, not dominance.
