Important Things to Know About Parrots
1️⃣ Parrots Usually Choose One Person
Most parrots bond deeply with one individual and may only tolerate others.
2️⃣ Birds & Children
Birds are generally not ideal for homes with young children, dogs, or other birds. They are flock animals and need a communal area to prevent behavioral issues.
3️⃣ Birds Bite
Biting indicates fear or stress. Trust must be earned through patience and consistency.
4️⃣ Parrots Are Not Dominance-Based
If a bird resists leaving a safe space, it is about security — not dominance.
