Lately I have been seeing lots of parrots videos on my fyp on TikTok, especially the talking ones. I found it so cute and amazing.

This afternoon on my way back to the office, I saw a guy selling these parrots, na so I call am, bought the parrots, 2-in-1 for that matter.

Getting to the office, as a new and first time pet owner, I was excited.





I noticed that if I tried to to get close to the parrots via the cage, they turned their backs especially the smaller one.



I didn't know what prompted me to try bringing the birds out from the cage with my hands, one of the birds grabbed my finger with it's beak and bit me real hard.

It gave a cut that bled more than I'll ever imagine.

Long story short, I just told my office assistant to carry the birds to her house. I no do pet owner again.

Imagine if this had bitten any of my kids.

Same day I owned a pet, same day I became petless.

Lol... beautiful birds. You made a mistake.

You don't grab a parrot, instead you teach them to step up (that is, hope on your fingers). You don't get touchy with your parrots the first few days after you got them. You must allow them settle in and get used to the environment. You leave them in the cage and spend a lot of time near the cage. If your parrot is hand-raised, this is sufficient to get started, otherwise, you'd still need to do the whole finger-no-danger exercise. When you eventually open the cage, you MUST let them come out on thier own. Again, if they weren't hand raised, you must also avoid fast movements and maybe eye contacts depending on how skittish they are. It's after the bird is comfortable with you that you can start the basic training. Parrots love training sessions, they like attention, they like to be handled and they're clingy once they bond with you (parrots sometimes get too clingy). But if you don't start off correctly, they can be very aggressive and loud. Every bad move threatens your bond cause they don't forget.

These ones are called Senegalese parrots. They are very affectionate and could develop separation anxiety if not well socialized. They are not as loud as other mini-sized parrots like green cheek conure and sun conure but they're also not great in learning to talk. They just want to stay on your shoulder all the time. All parrots are clingy, but these ones are moderately clingy. Finally, like most parrots, they require balanced diet, exercise and mental stimulation to avoid developing bad behaviors like feather plucking, aggression and nose making.

This story you're talking doesn't apply to specie the guy bought above. Those are Senegalese parrots and they don't talk. They don't learn anything too. All they do is scream when you try to pick them up.

nickyvil:
Who told you that they don't

Those things don't. If you have one you think talks, it's just probably a specie that looks like it. Probably a parakeet or something.

Aboki get parrot?

Recardo:
You don't keep two parrots in a cage. They'll become restless and one will eventually kill the other.

EmekaStanley: ...

nickyvil:
It's pair, so male and female. Best is to have a pair in the cage. They won't be bored and won't have to go through depressed.

that's how my chinedum killed lisa because i was looking for pet parrots, like a decade ago

nickyvil:
Parrot are social animal and they do good when they are paired. If you buy them from different source, before you put them together, you have to put their cage side by side for weeks for them to communicate before any other thing.
