All parrots have one thing in They are wild creatures. Unlike domesticated dogs and cats that have been bred in captivity thousands of years, and are genetically programmed to accept us and to live with us our terms, most parrots have been breeding readily in captivity for only the last 15 years. In probability, the parents or grandparents of the hand-fed baby parrot that you purchase today from a breeder or pet-store were wild-caught, imported birds.
A baby parrot born in captivity may be tame, but it is still far better equipped psychically and emotionally to with life in the wild than with life as someone’s pet. A parrot may live 30 to 60 years or more, so it is a job teaching it to successfully and happily coexist with people. Someone unprepared for this kind of commitment would be better with a more compliant animal.
