Paco didn't have a behaviour problem, he had a natural reaction to an awful life. Thanks to this family for giving him a healthy life.

[@DatBeautifulNightmare]

Owners make assumptions based on KZbin videos which never show the work that needs to go into the birds, they assume their bird will talk and do tricks automatically, then it's, clip the birds wings to make it compliant. When the bird comes not doing the things people see on social media? The parrots either left caged or passed on 😢

[@jasminlisanne5244]

That's actually where most behavioural problems come from. We see the same thing with many zoo animals, basically all farm animals, cats and dogs and even horses. The owners (often unknowingly) mistreat them and they don't get their basic needs fulfilled which then results in behavioural problems. Animals in the meat industry are terribly abused and no one seems to came. The turkeys are pecking each other? Let's cut their snoods and beaks! The horse is opening it's mouth? Let's tie it shut with a flash noseband. It doesn't matter that the turkeys are caged together by the hundreds with 24/7 bright lights and nothing to do, absolutely unable to perform normal behaviours. It doesn't matter that the horse is in pain, therefore opening it's mouth. People want quick solutions for THEIR problems, they don't care about the animals. I am glad this bird found a loving home!

[@amarant1275]

@@DatBeautifulNightmare That is exactly the problem. Parrots are very difficult pets, people only see the cute tricks and talking but not about how destructive they are, noisy, moody, need a special diet, etc. They aren´t for everybody.

[@rexnemo]

Birds are incredible creatures and so clever , we have a family of seagulls living on the roof and watch their young every year as they grow and learn to fly , just by putting out water and food this family has been with us for about ten years . In the bushes next door lives a robin and he watches when I do the gardening and chatters away to me . Sparrows are so lively and funny . They are all great characters and add so much life to the garden . In a local park two Indian Ring Necks have escaped and fly around , it's such a pleasure to see them and hear them too as their call is very distinctive . There is a whole world of bird behavior and they are all unique and full of character .🙂

[@tortellinifettuccine]

@@pigeonlove depend. Some birds like paco have no grown up long enough with members of a flock, or maybe they were kicked out, social pariahs are very much a thing in their lives. I had a parrot who was taken young and kept in a cage, never trusted any human before. He didn't much like being outside at first, but slowly it grew on him, but he'd still be scared of other birds and things like that. He has the free will to leave, like Paco, but he chooses this life, and so does Paco. Bird relationships with humans can be just as deep as with their own flock and, the same with any animal. We eventually got another parrot, and boy did she love going outside, talking to other birds and mocking their calls, and messing with her brother. She also could leave whenever she wanted, but she chooses to stay every day, because we are her flock, and she misses us and her brother.

[@dakotap3008]

I agree with you about those people that never let a parrot out of the cage. Aside from that, there’s good reason for clipping a parrots wings for safety purposes.

[@lavenderiris9744]

@@dakotap3008yes, but they clipped his wings from when he couldn’t even fly. That’s inhumane. Parrots and birds have wings to fly. Some can’t, because of health problems, but if the parrot is perfectly healthy, not letting them fly is torture.

[@dakotap3008]

@@lavenderiris9744 I’m speaking in terms of letting them fly wild where it poses a big risk to the parrot’s life and health. In addition to that, many owners have lost their beloved (unclipped) parrots when they accidentally left a window or door open, and were never to be seen again. That would be devastating and inhumane because it could have been avoided by taking precautions. For those that have the means and desire, an outdoor aviary would enable the parrot to fly while keeping it safe. Not everyone can do that. Alternatively, we do the best we can and give them the love and care they so rightfully deserve. And if part of that is clipping their wings, imo it’s not inhumane. It’s done out of love and wanting to keep them as safe as possible. I respect your opinion although ours differ. I understand the concept of wanting flight for birds, but I feel that needs to be balanced when it has to do with ownership and the responsibility that brings.

@@ricasears5910 Good for your husband. I share that view. It's so hard to see animals of any kind locked up.
