How are parrots to live with, really?
A. Parrots are wonderful, fulfilling animals to have as pets. The bad news first: They are also messy, loud, demanding, naughty and destructive. To what degree, depends upon the individual species, as well as the individual parrot. Living with a parrot is a job. You can’t put off taking care of them for a day. If you can’t deal with daily noise, feather dust or cleaning food off of the floor and wall, a parrot is NOT for you. The Good News: They are funny, entertaining, interactive, beautiful, affectionate LONG LIVED companions. The main reason that there are “bad parrots” are because somewhere down the line, there were humans involved in their care and/or upbringing that didn’t do the right things.
