What wonderful creatures parrots are, with their
super friendly nature and their ability to talk,
they really are the perfect pet. There are so
many different types of parrots to choose from,
so it is important to know what you are looking
for before you decide to head down to the pet
store and pick one out.
The first thing you should look for when buying
a parrot is whether it has clear eyes or not.
This is very important because you do not want
to have to care for a blind parrot in ten years
time. Parrots can pick up infections very easily
so make sure his or her eyes are clean and clear.
This is very important!
Another thing to check for is the parrots level
of activeness. If you notice that a parrot is
sleeping every time a person walks past the cage,
thats a sure-fire signal to say that that parrot
is not a good choice for a pet. Look for the ones
that are making noise regularly and that are constantly
awake to peoples gestures.
Look for parrots with clean nostrils. This is
very important as you do not want to buy a parrot
with breathing problems and have to pay vet bill
after vet bill just to keep him or her alive.
This is one of the most important rules when choosing
parrots so take it seriously.
Also ask the pet shop employee if you can check
each parrots breastbone. If one has a sharp breastbone,
do not buy it. Look for the ones with smooth breastbones.
This is a golden rule for buying a new parrot.
Another thing to look out for is how puffy the
parrot is. If you notice one that can hardly move
because its feathers are too puffy, stay away.
Instead try to find one that has smooth unruffled
feathers. These are usually the parrots that are
more active as well! Also check to see how many
feathers each parrot is shedding. You do not want
to get a parrot that is constantly shedding its
features all the time. Most parrots shed feathers
but some more than others so choose wisely.
If you follow these golden rules when buying parrots
from the local pet store, then you are more than
likely to enjoy many years of great happiness
and success being the owner of a beautiful, healthy
and charming pet parrot.
Parrots are wonderful creatures, with their super
friendly nature and their ability to talk, they
really are the perfect pet. There are so many
different types of parrots to choose from, so
it is important to know what you are looking for
before you decide to head down to the pet store
and pick one out.
