Caring For An African Parrot

African Parrots truly are intelligent and charming, just as the title suggests.
If you have always enjoyed looking at these birds in the zoo and you have been
thinking about getting one, then we are here to help you make your decision. You
should take note that there are so many breeders out there, but there are more
ways to get the bird other than going to the breeder. For example, you could look
in your nearest animal shelter. That's right, the animal shelter in your area may
have an African Parrot, simply because someone did not take care of their responsibility.

If you are instantly drawn to the beauty of this remarkable creature, then you
should take note that there is more to this bird than just beauty. Within this
article, we are going to be discussing the African Parrot, which is one remarkable
bird.

Would you believe it if we told you these parrots try to mimic everything they
hear? They try to talk in different noises and sounds, which can be very cute.
They even have the mind capacity to put their words together and make sense.
There are many good features you know about these birds, but you do not realize
the other side until you actually adopt the bird.

When you adopt a parrot into your life, you will need to pay attention to the
bird. This is not something you can just throw into your closet and only take
out when you feel like playing. When you get a pet in your life, even if it is
a bird, you are taking on a large responsibility and you will need to care for it.

As you are researching, you will find that these birds need a proper home to live
in. They will require a big cage and in many cases, they will want to be outside
of the cage.

The temperament between these two creatures are important. The Timnehs are said
to have an attitude that is more laid back and they are less prone to picking
their feathers and having other behaviors compared to the other beautiful parrot,
the Congo African gray.

You should also know that these birds do eat a lot and they require a special type
of food. You cannot feed these parrots plan old cockatiel food. There is a special
diet, just for parrots. Take note, when these critters eat, they are messy eating
and there is no avoiding this. No matter how much you try to get your bird to keep
that food inside their food pan, they will not do it.

It's not because they do not want to keep it in their food pan, it's because it
flies out of their mouth as they are cracking the nuts or they scoot it out of their
tray as they are rooting around for their favorite food. Yes, birds are messy eaters,
but if you are ready for all of this, then you are ready for an African Parrot.
