Choose the Perfect Parrot Breeder

It is cruelty in these early years, which may cause some problems for the bird in the future. Some breeders only focus on business and make money and see the birds as secondary. But there are other parrot breeders, the good guys, who love their birds and they are very enthusiastic about raising them properly. It is the buyers responsibility to search for the right breeder to buy a healthy and happy bird from.

Following are some questions you should ask the breeders and other things you might need to know.

1. Ask or observe the food which the breeder is feeding the baby parrots. The baby bird must have safe and nutritious food, containing fresh fruit, vegetables, pellets, and seeds.

2. Ask if they allow the birds to learn to fly. It will be important for them to be able to fly if you decide to clip your parrot feathers later or not. A bird can develop their motor skills by learning to take flight, and it is very important for her adult life.
