All about Parrots

HOW TO RAISE A PET PARROT
- Parrots are highly intelligent. You may even find they are smarter than the average cat! If you start training them young, you can teach them all sorts of things. Start by giving orders to climb onto the perch. If the parrot obeys, reward him with a treat. He'll soon get the idea. He will also start to respect you.
- One of the most important things to do when raising your parrot is to make sure that you are talking to it. Whether or not you are focused upon teaching your parrot to talk or not, speaking with your parrot is a major contributor to building trust.
- Gaining the respect of your parrot is actually a very easy process. It has to do with being consistent and providing it with enough freedom and attention early on in its life. The first step is obviously speaking with your parrot. Allow it to get used to your hand near the cage.
- The best tip is to make sure that your parrot comes from a hand feeder. Parrots that are hand fed early on our typically the most calm. The person you are purchasing the parrot from can tell you more about your parrot before you make a decision to take this parrot home with you.
- Finally, you will always have times when you will be away from your parrot. Make sure that your parrot is in a room that has high activity or place it in a room that has a television set so that it has some format of company during the times when you’re gone. You have to remember that the parrot is in the cage, alone, and probably does not understand why you were gone.
