Thank you for your contribution to the conversation. As I said, some people do a great job at caring for their parrots and giving them the best life they can. I just wanted to make this thread so that people could share their thoughts and experiences on this subject as it's a very interesting...

Thanks for you contribution to the conversation and you dedication to you feathered friends :) I use info from birdtricks all the time. I got my parrot diet from their natural feeding system cookbooks. I even attended a masterclass with them last year. They are amazing people, they've changed...

So sorry for your loss. :hugs:hugs:hugs

Thank you for contributing your opinion. Do you have any parrots? I like the idea of adopting rescue parrots. I have three galahs I'm fostering currently. Being rescues, they are quite difficult and I don't know a lot about their past, but it's very rewarding when we finally have breakthroughs.

Thank you so much for your review. It is so encouraging. Also, thanks for adding that extra info, they're really important details too.

@janiedoe and @Peepsi Thanks for your suggestion to make this article and encouragement.

Yes it was. It's been published now. I have just edited a couple of things I didn't finish. Thank you @oldhenlikesdogs. And @CarpCharacin, Thank you so much for finding it. It has saved me so much time that I'd have to put in to re-write it.

Hi all. I have been working on making an article from this thread, I'd added extra info too. I was almost finished, but it seems it's been deleted. I will start again and hopefully publish it soon, sorry it's taken awhile and thanks again for the suggestion.

Thank you so much! It's good when we can acknowledge our past mistakes and help others learn from them. Thanks for the encouragement. I knew I needed to write this, it's just great to have people to back me up and encourage me. I'm definitely going to turn this into an article.

I'm trying to encourage my galah to play with toys and self-entertain. I feel so sorry for him because HE'S A GALAH and they're supposed to love playing and being goofballs but I suppose because of his unknown past, he doesn't :(

That's cool about you teacher. That's so sad about the budgies. If you're going to get a parrot, you really need to invest time into them otherwise it's not good for anyone. When they're not tame, it's like keeping a wild bird in a cage. At the moment I'm working on taming my fearful bourke's...

I have heard that female parrots generally prefer male owners while male birds generally prefer female owners. Also the talking does sound funny, it's amazing how they can speak in context. But I suppose it's important for people to know that a talking bird also screams and bites when they're...

Wow, that's so cool! Sometimes we do buy before we really think it through, but it's important to stick by the bird and do what's best for them. Good luck with your lifelong companion :)

Thanks for adding your experience and insight. These are good points.

I agree with you. I'm just commenting on parrots because I've done the research on them and can comment because I've experienced these issues, but this applies to many other animals as well. I'm not saying that we can control who owns them. And maybe they shouldn't be pets, but I don't think we...

Thank you

Before I start, please understand I do not want to cause debates. I am not poking fingers at people or trying to make parrot owners feel bad for keeping parrots (I am a parrot owner myself). I want people to share their opinions kindly as I feel the parrot community is divided enough and doesn't...
