Parrots make wonderful pets, but they’re not for everyone. Many parrots end up homeless because their owners did not make a good choice. It is important to know whether you can provide the necessary care and attention that parrots require and whether you can afford the costs of keeping a parrot healthy and happy. Knowing what sort of time, financial, and emotional commitment you are making to care for a parrot will help you to decide if a parrot is right for you!
