Parrots are popular pets for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are their natural beauty, the high level of their intelligence and their sociable natures.  Nearly 15 years ago, USA Today, the national newspaper conducted a poll, discovering that some 11 million birds were kept as pets in USA.  While the article didn’t specify, you’ve got to believe that a large number of them were parrots.  In fact, the most popular of all the pet bird species in the country today is a species of parrot, the domesticated Budgerigar.

If you adopt a larger bird, then he’ll ultimately need a larger cage (which by the way needs cleaning regularly).  Many of the larger birds can be on the destructive side when they get bored.

Parrots also need some form of exercise as well as social interaction (and if you can’t provide your parrot pet with this interaction, then you’ll need to make sure that he can get this from another parrot).

Now take into account that if you adopt a large parrot like a Macaw, his odds are actually in his favor that he’ll out live you!  Just who are you going to bequeath this guy to?  The smaller parrots, by contrast have only a lifespan of 15 to 20 years.  But that’s still an impressively long time! African grey parrot have live time 30-50 year .

When u adopt parrot you are taking care of he for live time .
