NOW....ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS

1. Owning a bird can cost money. Food, toys, and vets can soon add up.
Do you HAVE an avian vet in your area?

2. Many birds go through a period of adjustment. They may bite, or just
avoid you altogether. Do you have the patience to deal with this without getting discouraged? It can
take a long time if the birds been abused.

3. A parrot can live from 10 to 90 years. It can be a LIFETIME pet. Are you ready for this? And what
will happen to the bird when you die? Think about it!

4. When you go away on vacation, who will care for the bird? Many people are afraid of large parrots. What if the bird gets out of its cage? Can they handle that?

5. Do you have the TIME to devote to the bird? Will you be able to play with it everyday, and maybe
let it safely fly? Will the bird have more room than just its cage?

(Be aware however, "T" stands and 'Toos don't mix, as they are MUCH
too active to sit on a stand. As soon as you leave the room, they are OUTTA THERE!)

6. Do you have room for a LARGE cage? And what about the droppings
here and there? Mind a little damage now and then to things in your home?
It WILL happen, trust me! (Maybe even LOTS of damage.)

7. Is anyone in your family allergic to feathers and in the case of Cockatoos, lots of dust? (How do you think they stay so white?)

8. Do you have other pets in the house? Will they get along with your bird and vice versa? Cats can kill a bird just with its saliva. Are you willing to risk that?

9. Parrots are normally very shy of small children and I don't recommend giving large parrots to children period! But if you DO give a child a pet bird, are YOU willing to take responsibility if the child gets BIT or gets tired of the bird? Its YOUR fault if that happens.

10. Forget everything you know about pets when it comes to birds. Many birds are just as EMOTIONAL as humans. Can you deal with this? Can you deal with your husband/ wife/kids? If not, better steer clear of parrots!
