“Some Things to Know About Parrot Breeders”

Parrot breeders, for the most part, love and take good care of their parrots. The parrot breeders care for the breeds they have chosen to take on. The best thing to do is check around to find parrot breeders with a good reputation. Parrot breeders with a good reputation will have good stock and well taken care of parrots. This is important because when the birds are small and if the parrot breeders are poorly treating the birds they are going to be harder to handle and take a lot longer before that parrot is going to trust humans. Training time will be longer and just getting them out of the cage is going to be difficult in some cases. When you have chosen the parrot breeders you like and the parrot you want.
Make sure you ask about the history of the bird and the health of the bird. If it’s been weaned and if it has been looked at by a vet. If not you should take it to the vet before you take the parrot home especial if you have other animals at home. It is recommended to quarantine your new parrot from other parrots for 45 days. If you have found a couple good parrot breeders they will answer questions whenever you need them too. Parrot breeders that have different types of parrots have different responsibilities especial feeding them. The parrot breeders should have already weaned the parrot and it should be eating fresh warm soft food and seeds. Another awesome thing if the breeder has let the bird learn how to fly and land. It is very important in the parrots to live to have the ability to fly. You will probably want to clip their wings so your young bird doesn’t hurt themselves or breaking thing around the house.
