Cost of Care Parrots aren't cheap, but they can be an excellent companion. The initial purchase may cost thousands, but the ongoing costs add up quickly. This includes food, toys and veterinary care. Additionally, it is important to have a backup reserve in case your pet gets injured or sick. It is recommended to purchase pet insurance for your bird. In general, the most significant recurring cost is food. This includes pellets, fresh vegetables and fruits. Also, it includes seeds and other treats. The cost of these items can be cut by choosing cheaper foods, such as store-brands or pre-made dishes. The most efficient way to save money on food is to search for sales and coupons. Grooming is a further significant recurring cost. Parrots require regular trims of wing and nail. This can be done by yourself or by professional groomers.

Veterinary Care Parrots live a long lifespan and can be extremely loyal companions. However they also have certain needs that must be addressed in order to ensure their survival. It is essential to know about the dietary, environmental, and veterinary needs of your pet, regardless of whether you are thinking of buying one or already have one. There are over 350 different species of parrots. They have specific health, social and dietary needs. Parrots are a species of prey and have strong survival instincts, which enable them to be very adept at spotting any illness or injuries. All pet parrots should be seen by an avian veterinarian every six months to one year. This visit will ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and secure. It will also assist you in keeping control of your bird's health and prevent any issues from getting out of hand. It is essential to provide your pet with the correct proportion of vegetables and fruits in their diet. Fruits that are too much can cause overweight parrots since it is high in sugar. It is recommended to feed your pet 70% vegetables and 30% fruits. Enrichment is important for your bird as well as eating a balanced diet. This will keep them mentally stimulated and content inside their cage. This can be done by placing a leaf of a vegetable in various areas of their cage, and placing the leaf in a foraging toy, or by cutting the leaf into small pieces and placing them in their dish. Another way to help your bird to stay active and content is to allow them to get out of their cage. This should only happen under supervision in a safe bird enclosure or room. Keeping a parrot active and engaged will not only keep their mind sharp, but it will also stop negative or bored behavior from forming. Food A parrot owner can expect to spend at least several thousand dollars per year on toys, cages, food (including fresh fruits and vegetables and preferably organic) pellets and boarding for when you go away as well as vitamins and vet. These costs are not included in the time spent feeding your pet and playing with it. This is a lot of money for a bird that can survive in captivity for up to 50 years. These birds are known for their engaging personalities and clear communication skills. They're also known for a knack for learning complex tricks and behaviors. They can even mimic human speech and sounds. A study has revealed that African greys are surprisingly philanthropic. When a member breaks their walnut exchange hole, the birds transfer metal tokens from their own chambers to their partners' in order to get them some nutty goodness. This behavior wasn't just random and the more donors invested in their relationships with their partners the more they shared. But the researchers who conducted this study weren't able to test the effects of this sharing in the wild, says Irene Pepperberg, an animal cognition expert who is studying African greys at Harvard but wasn't part of this research. She notes that these birds live in chaotic groups and could gain by developing a reputation for generosity. Pepperberg notes that the results should not be generalized across all parrot species. Ravens, for instance, don't have this same inclination toward their fellow birds, and neither do chimpanzees or gorillas. And even in these cases it's unclear if the animals are acting out of kindness or if they simply want to have what their friends have. Toys Parrots need toys to entertain them as well as for enrichment. To stop your pet from getting bored, rotate the toys regularly to ensure they're fresh and exciting. This keeps a parrot's sharp beak from becoming dull, and also gives the bird time to think. It also gives the bird the chance to interact with her environment and get feedback from it in a variety of different ways. Feedback can be an incentive for her hard work in the foraging task or your reaction when she screams for a toy. One problem that often arises when a parrot is given toys to enrich her life is that she doesn't interact with them. This is because she is afraid of most things that are unfamiliar. It takes a lot patience to make a parrot less receptive to a new item, but it's often possible. It is important to introduce the toy gradually and to play with it in the presence of your child. This will help her feel at ease with the toy. Some of the items that are great for enrichment include shredded paper (not printed and free from inks), cardboard, sisal rope leather or cotton strips wooden clothes pegs that do not have metal springs, ping-pong balls pine cones small branches, beads wooden rings, plastic bottle caps, popsicle sticks, dried fruits, hot garlic, peppers, ginger dry food tidbits and dried vegetables. These are all great for enriching but be sure to get rid of anything that is not suitable for the pet. This includes items that the pet could ingest or chew on, or even get trapped in. Enjoy the Entertainment Parrots are extremely clever and have been observed to develop emotional bonds with their owners. This is why African greys have been referred to as “Einsteins” of the bird kingdom. Parrots can live for up to 80 years if kept in captive. If you don't, your pet could end in a shelter or another home. The decline in wild parrots could be caused by a variety of causes, such as destruction of habitats and illegal captures for the pet industry.
