Nobody's Talking About Why Parrots Are Bad Pets

Are parrots really that great of a pet? To be perfectly honest with you...not really, at least not compared to a dog or cat. But that's also why they're amazing pets.

I'm reminded every day that my parrots are wild animals in the way they are so independent and even afraid of my hands at times. Even if they're hand-raised, some birds require more work or may never want to step up to you. I've found with my parrots, which are a rather flighty species, it just makes sense to let them be birds. If we're going to keep them in captivity, we might as well give them plenty of room to fly when they want, explore when they want, and decide to trust us on their own terms. Granted, with small birds that don't have much capability for destruction like mine, this is a lot easier. :) It's kind of amazing when a bird decides on their own terms that they want to spend time with you.

[@justinl4177]

I had a cockatiel that lived for 26 years. My aunt is national championship breeder and National Cockatiel Society judge. He was given to me as a kid because he couldn’t be shown after one of her african grays attacked him and took off one of his toes. He was from really good lines, which is maybe why he lived so long but he was one of if not the longest lived cockatiel she has ever bred. He lived from 1988 to 2014. At the time that he died he was a year older than my girlfriend.

Hey guys! I've been watching some of your vids recently as I might get a parrot in the future so I wanted as much info as possible. Your vids by far are the most insightful I've found on the internet ;) Despite being so long, I really enjoy watching and listening to you and your birds as well. I usually don't write comments but I feel like you guys deserve more views so I figured I'd comment on your vid and let you know that you are awesome :) Keep up the good work!

[@Fivesaflock]

Thanks so much for the support! If I could go through these points in less time, I would, but I just wanted to make bird ownership as clear as possible.

There's so much information that i doubt it'd be possible to make it any shorter, in fact it feels this vid could go on for hours haha. So you did the right thing. One of a kind content!

[@ChrisHyde537]

I’m retired and can spend more time with my birds but still I need to leave them alone occasionally. I think my gcc could deal with this alone but my sun isn’t tolerant of solitude. I don’t know about caiques but a gcc will really calm down a sun conure. They play and the gcc is boss and they snuggle at night and I’m a welcome member of the flock. When they were young, I started letting them eat fruit that I held in my teeth and that sped up the bond. Utube videos of conures hastened my gcc to begin talking at 5 months and he’s a real talker. The sun conure mumbles but it’s nothing distinguishable. I gave up on store bought wooden toys as sun will destroy it in a week or two. I cut up small blocks of wood and he’s just as happy tearing those up. I also but 3/4 inch wooden dowels and use white glue to attach sandpaper around them. That’s really effective for their beaks. They both fly when I’m home. I can’t imagine the gcc hurting himself as he’s a fluttering ball when he flies and isn’t very fast indoors. I think he’d need a breeze to fly fast. The sun conure is a strong bird and a strong flyer. He’s never flown into anything that remains still but he’s collided with my heads as we’ve turned corners simultaneously. I’ve got a big cage and two mediums for different functions. They’re never out when I’m gone or asleep as they’re flying toddlers except with sharp beaks that can reach anywhere. I used to free fly the sun but a hawk attack stopped that. I almost had a heart attack when that happened. Hawks will come right down near you to try it. I miss it but he’s adapting to swooping and sharp turns indoors. I’m forgetting dozens of other things and I don’t want to write a novel either 😀

Small birds can hurt, too! When I was young, I was grabbing and holding my budgies very wrong, because of missing knowledge and because I had noone that could teach me about birds in general. The answer of my budgies was really hard biting, till to the point blood was drawn. I didn't hurt them, but I was not paying attention to their body language etc. Nowadays I have an indian ringneck, and I can't imagine how that would hurt if he was biting me with full power. It just hasn't happened yet. His destroying power on some days is immense, as a hint. I have vast more knowledge today and my birds are happy. But hard biting can still happen in the future.

That caique surfing, soo cute! I had one and they have ADHD i swear!!!

[@alegrate1827]

I always wanted a cockatoo... that is until I owned a cockatiel and found out how temperamental they can be! The way they can be chillin' out with you one moment, enjoying some neck scratching, and then suddenly decide that's enough and turn around and give you a nasty bite! And while a cockatiel's bite is not all that serious, it sure gave me second thoughts about getting a cockatoo, with its so much larger...and stronger beak! But I must be a glutton for punishment because I'd still like to get something a bit larger than a cockatiel at some point. So, in the meantime, I've been learning about the personalities of various parrot breeds and, from what I'm hearing, it seems I might enjoy a Pionus Parrot. I especially like the subtle beauty of the Dusky Pionus and would welcome hearing from anyone who owns one, especially how their personality and behavior might differ from the other Pionus types.

My seccond senegal 18 years old was gifted to me he is a plucker and hormonal and agressive. My Egregia conure 1year old has deformed feet, beak, and wings i got her because the owner could not tame her. Rose cockatoo 1year old she has deformed legs. I love them so much. We had to do a lot of modifications. Now I have 5 couch potatoes ♡. In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 its illegal to handfeed baby's by someone other than the breeder.

[@tedinohio3981]

My male cockatiel lived for 27 1/2 years, and I have heard of some that lived to be 30+. That's not common, but something to think about. It hit me when I read somewhere else a comment from a 12 year old saying he really wanted a cockatiel, and I'm thinking "Will you still want it when your 17, or 21 in college, or 30 when you move somewhere and have a family, or a job for which you must travel?" It's a big commitment.

Thanks for this video, I've been learning more about different types of pets lately. Your bird family is beautiful! If anyone wants something dog-like but small, I suggest fancy rats (dumbo rats can be super sweet among other breeds). Needs daily attention time though so get them in a pair if you don't plan to have daily handling time (they can get depressed). But rats can be trained, and are affectionate to their pet parent bonds. Their teeth constantly grow so keep chew toys etc plenty for health and mental stimulation. :)

They are, I have a Quaker parrot, have had her since the summer of 2020, and she’s the best. Sometimes she’ll be in her little mood where she hates me for no reason, but she’s basically stopped that now.

[@dolanovacz]

I'm getting a Senegal parrot soon and I'm really excited! I actually think my rescue dog prepared me though. She had intense separation anxiety and was very loud and destructive. She was also reactive to pretty much everything, lunging at cars, people, dogs... And she was extremely high energy, we would spend 3-4hrs on walks, hikes and bike rides and needed a lot of mental stimulation too. It was really hard. I guess the difference is that 6 years and a LOT of training later she's pretty mellow, whereas with a parrot it'll probably be that much work forever. :D

Parrots being bad pets is actually why I'm interested. We tend not to show our animals respect. I like aloof. I took care of my aunts African Grey for a few months and he was like a roomie. It was a challenge but he was interested in a way dogs and cats kind of aren't. He had his own opinions, moods, routines. If I give a cat or dog food they like they're gonna eat it, the Parrot might throw it and laugh. They're...present idk how to say it but I wish more people appreciated it.

1:36 That's actually incorrect. Humans never domesticated wolves. Humans domesticated wild dogs... Well, more so the dogs adapted to the constant food source that is the human being. The only reason domesticated dogs have eyebrow muscles, is because evolution gave them that to easier manipulate humans with their baby eyes, wild dogs and wolves don't have that. However, I disagree on the point that a dog's love is "fake". They are pack animals by nature, same as parrots are flock animals by nature and cats are solitary by nature, which is why they just mind their own business most of the time.

Why is your birds clipped?😢 It’s not good for their respiratory system. Also you can train them to not fly into walls and windows just like you don’t chop your kids legs off so they can’t run over the street and get hit by a car. And your birds can’t protect themselves from predators if they accidentally get outside. Then they will have 0% chance for survival. My birds are fully flighted and I don’t want them to ever experience not being able to use their wings. Parrots are born to fly. Unless the parrot is a kakapo😉 Sorry if this comes across as offensive. I’m just sad to see the birds clipped and I also want to share awareness of the dangers of clipping.

[@macawlovers1964]

One thing that isn’t true. Cats aren’t domesticated. They become tame with contact similar to birds. Also clipping wings is very inhumane. It causes heart and lung issues, much like a person who sits all day long. It also causes behavioral problems since birds must be on alert to potential dangers, they resort to biting and become stressed and pluck. Overall wing clipping psychologically negatively affects them. There is literally NO benefit to wing clipping- its unethical. I liked watching your videos until I found this bit of info out today. 😭
