Pet Parrots and You

Pet Parrots are the most lovely birds to have as a pet. Parrots are generally gracious pets that will provide you with companionship for many, many years to come.

Our site will teach you all about Pet Parrots and how to care for your large parrot. Generally people buy pet parrots that are large talking parrots or birds but did you know that a small budgie is still part of the parrot family?

Yes it’s true! Male Budgies can also learn to talk just like their larger pet parrot relations. Their cages and toys are obviously much smaller and handling a small pet parrot is easier than handling a large parrot but intrinsically they are very similar.

Pet parrots have been around for many centuries. Often when we think of pet parrots we think of Long John Silver with his pet parrot sitting on his shoulder. Talking Parrots are such fun to have around and there is definitely never a dull moment when you decide to buy a parrot as a pet.

My favorite pet parrots are the African Gray Parrots. I used to own a lovely one named “Groucho” but unfortunately I had to give him up due to personal problems. My African Gray Parrot became a part of my life and I miss him greatly. We will be talking more about african gray parrots later in other blog posts.

My sister used to breed pet parrots at home and so I have been around them for many years. Sadly my sister passed away and there was no way I could house the pet parrots in my small apartment so we had to put them up for adoption. They did end up going to very nice people but I felt a great loss after losing my sister and then having to part with the lovely birds.

I hope that you enjoy your time on my pet parrots site as we will talk about many things pertaining to pet parrots and especially talking parrots and birds.

Keep coming back and feel free to send your comments. I love to write about our pet parrots and by writing about them it helps to keep them, and my sisters and my love for them, with me in spirit.

Pet Parrots- Talking Parrots, Birds

When thinking of purchase pet parrots the most often asked question is which pet parrots are talking parrots?

Talking birds are so sought after it does seem a shame. Parrots can offer so much more than just their talking ability. Many people forget just how entertaining pet parrots can be without their talking ability. They are born entertainers and love to hang out with their favorite person and in their spare time play with their favorite parrot toys.

The truth of the matter is that many pet parrots do not learn to talk ever. Therefore if you are choosing a parrot for its talking you may be very disappointed.

Generally speaking, the larger the parrot the more chance you have of him talking, but this rule is definitely not hard and fast. Consider the little budgie, for example. This little guy can talk up a storm if trained properly.

The best pet parrots that are known for their talking ability of course is the African Gray Parrot. These are considered the most intelligent parrot in the pet bird world. But again, just because you buy an African Gray Parrot for a pet does not guarantee that it will talk.

I can tell you from personal experience that the Male parrots of any particular species is more likely to talk than its female counterpart. This may be perhaps that males are more communicative because they want to attract their special mate, in many cases which is it’s caretaker.

So what can you take away from this particular article?

  1. All Pet Parrots do not necessarily Talk
  2. Male Pet Parrots are more likely to Talk than their female counterparts
  3. African Gray Parrots are the most intelligent and generally thought to be the best talkers
  4. Don’t forget that Male Budgies are also great little talkers
  5. There is NEVER any guarantee that your pet parrots will talk, so learn to love them for who they are and not what they can say.
