Before choosing a parrot breed, you need to find out about the features of its maintenance and upbringing. You will also need to correctly assess your capabilities, since the bird will need to pay enough attention.
Instructions
Step 1
The best choice for those with no bird keeping experience
In this case, it is recommended to pay attention to budgies. These are small birds with a docile disposition, the care of which is not burdensome. Communication with them will give the owner a lot of pleasure. Budgerigars quickly get used to a new owner and are easy to train.
Step 2
These birds are small in size, their length rarely exceeds 20 cm, the color can be different, but always incredibly attractive. The plumage of these parrots is most often bright green interspersed with various shades. But they can also be white, yellow and turquoise. Budgerigars are very obedient, and after flying out of the cage, after a walk, they always return to it.
Step 3
Another good option for newbies is to get a Corella. These birds are larger than budgies, but not by much: they reach 30 cm in length (from the tip of the beak to the tip of the tail). Cockatiels are unpretentious and have an affectionate kind character. These parrots have a crest on their heads, which greatly adorns the bird.
Step 4
If you try, you can teach Corella to imitate human speech. They quickly learn to repeat not only short words, but also simple phrases. Cockatiels know how to imitate sounds by nature. The owner of this bird will soon notice that his pet is imitating the ringing of an alarm clock or a mobile phone.
Step 5
The best choice for the experienced parrot lover
In this case, it is recommended to purchase a pet from a reputable breeder. You can buy large birds: Amazon, Alexandrian, Macaw. They require special attention and skills in dealing with parrots. All of them have a sharp mind, they are able to imitate speech well and are very wayward in character.
Step 6
For an inexperienced poultry farmer, keeping such a parrot can result in some everyday problems, for example, due to its excessive "talkativeness" or the desire to do everything in defiance of the owner. In this case, both man and bird get tired of such communication. Large parrots are famous for the special beauty of their feathers. These are bright, peculiar and very quick-witted birds.
Step 7
Despite some of the complexity of their content, they will bring a lot of pleasure from communicating with them. In order for the pet to develop normally and not get depressed, it will need daily and not short-term attention of the owner. The cage must be equipped so that, in the absence of the owner, the bird can entertain itself.
