Hello. I want to buy a bird for my mother. She has always wanted a bird in the house, but I am not sure which birds can live in the home. Do you know?
I have some ideas. You could get a parrot – they are great birds for the home, because they are tame, and they are easy to look after. They also imitate the sounds they hear. It is often very funny. Or you could buy a budgie or a canary. It is more difficult to handle these birds.
I think I will get a parrot! Do I need a cage for a parrot?
Yes, you will need a big cage for a parrot.
Will it get lonely on its own?
No, I don’t think so. Lots of people own just one parrot, and the parrots seem very happy.
Hmm. What will I need to put in the parrot’s cage?
You will need to buy a perch for the parrot to sit on. Some people also buy toys for their parrots. Parrots like to chew, and so it is important to give them something soft to chew.
What about food? What kind of food do they like?
Parrots like all sorts of food. They can eat nuts and vegetables. They also like fruit, and they can even eat meat!
How do I feed the parrot?
You should feed the parrot every day. You can put the food in a small bowl in its cage. You can also give it water in a bowl.
I think I can do that. It seems a shame to keep a parrot in a cage all the time. Is it ok to let them out of the cage sometimes?
Of course. You can have a separate perch outside of the cage, where your parrot can sit. They will not go very far. But be careful – parrots like to chew! They might damage your furniture!
I want to give my parrot an interesting name. What are parrots usually called?
Oh, that’s a difficult question to answer! Parrots have so many different names. You or your mother will simply have to think of an interesting name yourselves. But first you need to buy it!
I would like the parrot to learn how to speak. How do I or my mother teach it?
Not all parrots speak. But if you want your parrot to speak, you should make it associate certain words with certain actions. For example, when you enter a room, you can say “hello” every time. Soon, the parrot will associate your entry with the word “hello” and then it will start to say “hello” too! Some parrots just say what they hear. My friend had a parrot, which could make the sound of a telephone. Whenever the telephone rang, we thought it was the parrot!
I think I will go and buy a parrot for my mother today!
Good luck!
