- Be sure not to buy a
bird that has a tendency to scream if you live in an apartment or have
neighbors that will mind a little noise in the background.
- Remember that no bird is guaranteed to talk. Even birds
reputed to be great talkers may decide they don't want to. Be prepared
to love him or her anyway.
- Macaws and other large birds are often not suitable pets for families with small children.
- Keep in mind that parrots are not cheap pets. Make sure that
you can afford a cage that is of appropriate size for the type of bird
you have. Toys, perches, and food can also be expensive.
- All parrots require mental, physical, and social stimulation. Be sure that you have enough spare time to devote to your parrot.
- Parrots can be extremely messy and destructive. Be sure that your house is
"parrot-proofed" before bringing your baby home
