Thinking Of Buying A Parrot?

There are many bits of advice that can make parrot care very easy. The grooming for parrots is much different than for cats and dogs as your parrot is a bird and has a beak and claws. Be prepared for quite a challenge with grooming, as most of parrot grooming concentrates on the claws, beak, and wings.

There are many scenarios that can cause cases of beak malformation, such as growing at odd angles. Many times an odd shaped beak can be related to birth, or even due to an accident in which the beak could not fully heal properly. Mites and fungus can grow in your parrot’s feathers and beak and you want to keep it as clean as possible so this does not occur.

It can be very dangerous to cut your parrot’s claws if you have never done so before and have not had the proper instruction. In such a case, it is best to take your pet to a professional who can safely trim his claws. It can also be harmful to let your parrot’s claws grow too long, as it is possible he could break a toe or develop problems walking and perching.

The wings of a parrot bird need to be correctly clipped so that they do not harm themselves when flying or landing. If the wings are not clipped then your parrot may be prone to flying into things and may have very hard ground landings. When keeping a parrot you want to remember that they are not wild as the length and breadth of their wings will not make them good at finding food in the wild.

As with any other pet, you are responsible for seeing that your parrot receives a well-balanced diet. Keep in mind when selecting food for your parrot that while seeds are an excellent source of protein and fats, they can soon make your parrot overweight, as he will not get enough exercise to work off such a fatty diet. Most pet stores sell pellets which provide an excellent amount of nutrition without the excess fat.

Before you look for a parrot for sale, be sure that you are aware of the parrot supplies that will be necessary for the maintenance of a bird. Some of the items you will find helpful in raising your bird are a parrot cage, food and water equipment, a spray bottle (with a mist setting), and even toys.

Question by Snakeater: I shot the parrot…?
A woman went to a pet store one day, looking for something for her family to replace a cockatoo they had given away. While looking around the store, she notices a parrot on sale for . She asks the clerk:

“Why is that parrot so inexpensive?” She replies:

“You see, that parrot belonged to a Madam, and after living in a brothel it’s entire life, he picked up the ability to talk. But he tends to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.”

She shrugs, buys the parrot, and takes it home. After being put in it’s cage for the first time, he says:

“Hmm…new brothel.” Regular speech, no screeching or any other animal noises.

The woman’s two daughter walk in, mid to late teens.

“Hmm…new brothel, new girls.”
The girls gawk around the parrot until their father walks through the door.

“Hmm… new brothel, new girls, same customers.”
