Birds have been treasured as pets from the earliest days.
Whether it be a simple little finch in a cage or an exotic and rare parrot, they are considered valuable for their beauty, song and quaint ways.
Several bird species are able to be taught to mimic talk and this can be very amusing and worth all the effort and time taken to teach the birds to ‘talk’!
Acquiring a bird is not something to be taken lightly.
Consideration should be given to whether a bird making a lot of noise would hinder neighbors.
If you are staying in an apartment, it would not be a wise choice to purchase a bird that continually squawks as in the case of cockatoos, macaws and the Amazon parrots to mention but a few.
Birds that may not be as exotic, but are quitter and easier to keep happy are canaries, Senegal parrots budgies etc.
When buying a cage it is important that the righ sized cage is purchased or owned so that the bird does not get frustrated in a constrained space.
