Before Choosing a Bird
Choosing a Parrot Is a Long-Term Decision
Parrots differ greatly in size, noise
level, social needs, enrichment needs and
the amount of space they require. A bird
that works well for one household may not
be the right choice for another.
Exotic Birds Aviary has served bird
customers since 2015. Our goal is to make
it easier to compare species and understand
everyday ownership considerations before
choosing a companion.
Start by considering your available space,
daily schedule, experience with birds,
household activity and your ability to
provide ongoing enrichment and appropriate
housing.
01
Consider the Commitment
Learn about the species before
deciding whether its everyday needs
fit your household.
02
Plan the Habitat
Cage dimensions, bar spacing,
perches and enrichment should be
appropriate for the bird.
03
Prepare for Enrichment
Parrots benefit from opportunities
to climb, chew, forage and interact
with their environment.
