Many Types of Parrots: How to Choose the Most Suitable One for Yourself?
For every bird enthusiast, deciding which type of parrot to get is crucial, directly impacting their future life and companionship.
Breed Selection
Different parrot breeds have different abilities; the owner should choose based on their needs. The owner should clearly define what kind of bird they want—one with strong talking skills, skilled in performing tricks, or adept at whistling. Once the answer is in your mind, go about selecting the parrot.
Age Selection
Parrots of different ages have different levels of tameness. If you want a clingy parrot, a young bird is a good choice, but raising a young bird means you'll need to spend more time and energy, and it may even die due to a lack of experience on the owner's part. Therefore, I don't recommend raising a young bird for a first-time bird owner.
Conversely, older birds and juveniles are not as easily affectionate, and their bond becomes more apparent as they age, because at this point, birds' thinking patterns have become relatively complete, and they are less likely to accept new things.
Despite this, if you are patient and treat them with care, they will still understand you and become affectionate.
Gender Selection
The choice between male and female parrots is also important. Different genders of parrots not only have differences in appearance (such as green for male substitution parrots and red for female substitution parrots) and calls (such as male Azure-winged Parakeets can make multi-toned calls, while female Azure-winged Parakeets can only make single-tone calls), but also affect their behavior.
Consider Your Lifestyle
When you decide to get a bird, you should introduce yourself to your neighbors. If your neighbors are not friendly, it is recommended to raise a relatively docile, obedient, and quiet parrot to avoid unnecessary trouble.
