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
out and buying just any parrot, you know as much as possible about the specific
breeds available.
On this site we will firstly look at the different species of parrots available. Where you can buy your parrot and how best to pick
which one is right for you. We are then going

You will then learn how

Conclusion continued.....
There is a common practice of selling unweaned birds. The rational for this is the
breeder will sell the bird for less money, as they do not have to complete the
weaning process. Weaning is a very stressful event, for both the bird and new
owner. The birds are not ready for a change in environments when they are being
hand-fed and should only be fed by one person. The extra cost in buying a weaned
bird is worth it. Birds will be well adjusted to their surroundings if properly
socialized by raising them in a nurturing environment with other birds and people.
Many unweaned birds die horrible deaths with well meaning new owners. As a
result, avian veterinarians commonly see burned crops, infections and stunted
birds.
Just like with other commodities the cost is based on rarity. If the bird is
uncommon in captivity or in the wild, you can expect to pay a higher price. If the
bird is bred frequently in captivity, the cost will normally reflect this. If the seller
has done all the veterinarian checks, sex determination and weaning you can
expect to pay more. This is beneficial to the buyer who otherwise would have to
do it himself As many people have found out a higher cost does not guarantee a
healthy bird.
And most important, be committed to your bird with nurturing love. Birds make
great pets but do require some special attention.
