Welcome to Clever Parrot
We are all fascinated with birds that can talk. Not only are parrots beautiful in color
and movement, but the very fact that they can speak captures our attention in a way that few other birds can do.
Parrot's ability to talk or mimic is related to their gregarious nature. Parrots have
a long life span and are very social. In the wild, parrot chicks learn to mimic
vocalizations specific to their parents. As they play or work together, these parrots
repeat vocalizations to each other, which helps keep bonds strong.
There are many different types of parrots, each with an interesting history and
unique personality. With so many to choose from, it is important that before going

breeds available.

Various Breeds continued...
African Grey
The African Grey parrot grows to approximately 14 inches in length. After
the young leave the nest, their parents feed them for at least another four
months. If interested in breeding, make sure you have a sexually mature
pair, which means the birds must be at least five to six years of age. This
bird has the intelligence level of a five-year-old child and is considered to
be the most intelligent of the parrot species with a life span ranging from
40-60 years. Don't be surprised if your African Grey is very vocal early in
the morning and then again in the evening after the sun goes down. You
may also find it to be vocal when you leave the room. An established
routine will need to be created for this parrot in order to eliminate stress,
which can actually cause your bird to feel ill.
As with anything, African Grey parrots do have disadvantages. They are
known to have unreliable temperaments. This usually occurs when the bird
is over stimulated. Approach the ownership of this parrot with the
understanding that it will require a lot of attention. They are also notorious
for plucking out their feather when neglected.
Amazon Parrots
Traders and sailors called this bird "Kriken", which comes from the French word
"criquer" meaning "to screech" and is by far the most preferred breed. They come
in many different subspecies such as the Yellow-Naped Amazon, Mexican Double
Yellow-Head Amazon, Yellow Fronted Amazon, Yellow-Crowned Amazon, and
Blue Fronted Amazon. These are among the most reliable parrots regarding
speech. The amount and quality of the parrot's speech depends mainly on the
trainer but your hard work will be greatly rewarded.
