Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Parrots may be eclectus, Senegal, Amazon, African Grey and many more

The subfamily Arinae encompasses all the
Neotropical parrots, including the Amazons,
macaws and conures, and range from northern
Mexico and the Bahamas to Tierra del Fuego in the
southern tip of South America. Seed eating
parrots have a strong tongue which helps to
manipulate seeds or position nuts in the bill so
that the mandibles can apply an appropriate
cracking force.

The first think you should realize is that
parrots have very long lifespans. Some people
even have to put their parrots in their will.
Some parrots can live to be over 75 years old!
This is important to thin about because you may
have your pet for the rest of your life. Some
other questions to ask yourself are:

- Are you planning on going to college? - Do you
think you'll end up living in an apartment in the
future? - Do you like to travel a lot? - Will
your parrot out live you?

Tens of millions of parrots have been removed
from the wild, and parrots have been traded in
greater numbers and for far longer than any other
group of wild animals. You need to be committed
to caring for and loving your parrot for it's
entire life.

Aviculturists working with parrots have
identified the need for environmental enrichment
to keep parrots stimulated. Due to these
problems, and the fact that homeless parrots are
not euthanized like dogs and cats, parrot
adoption centers and sanctuaries are becoming
more common? Also, do you have any other pets?
Dogs and cats may be dangerous for your parrot.
If you are getting a smaller type parrot, a
ferret may even be fatal for your bird.Parrot
species are found in most zoos, and a few zoos
participate in breeding and conservation programs.

Some parrots have also benefited from human
changes to the environment in some instances, and
have expanded their ranges where agricultural
practices, and many parrots have declined as
well. For large parrots the cost of toys you need
to replace every month can be around $30 each.
Your parrot's beak is very strong and you will be
going through bird toys pretty fast. You'll also
have to keep buying your parrot's food and
treats! Not to mention your parrot's cleaning
supplies, you have a lot of things to buy every
month and you may be spending around $100 a month
for your parrot which may be a lot of money!

Another factor to consider is of course... noise.
Parrots can be very vocal at times -- including
early in the morning and late at night. You can
imagine why I don't recommend parrots as pets for
people that live in apartments or townhouses...

If you have children then you should realize how
strong a parrot's beak is. Without question the
most important of these to most true parrots and
cockatoos are seeds. This could do a lot of
damage! An absence of stimuli can retard the
development of young birds, as demonstrated by a
group of Vasa Parrots kept in tiny cages with
domesticated chickens from the age of 3 months;
at 9 months these birds still behaved in the same
way as 3 month olds, but had adopted some chicken
behavior!
