Do They Really Make Good Pets? - Exotic Birds

Buying a bird in hopes that it will talk is a huge gamble. So with that said, the only way to absolutely guarantee that a bird will talk is to hear it speak before you bring it home.  The following factors are found to be true in most birds that speak. And while for 99.9% of birds these may hold true, you may pick the one bird that is an exception to one or more of these rules. Make sure you are prepared to love and care for your bird whether it ever speaks or not, as much of the beauty of relationships with birds, and other pets too, is unspoken.   

In the end, it’s really a matter of paying your money and taking your chances. With that in mind, birds that have the following 5 traits are more likely to be able to learn to talk.

A problem with identifying if your bird is sick is that birds tend to hide their health from you. This is a built in ability that birds use to keep other animals from attacking them. It is part of their survival instinct. Because of this ability it may be a couple of weeks before a bird owner even knows that his bird is sick. Therefore, in order to determine that there is a problem with your bird you have to be observant at all times.

There are signs to look out for. These include discharge from the eyes, change in eye color, closing of the eyes, swelling around the eyes, discharge from the nose, soiling of the feathers, sneezing, trouble eating, reduced appetite, fluffed up feathers, inactivity, droopy wings, change in routine, change in vocal habits, weight loss, problems with equilibrium, inability to perch, limping, swollen feet or joints, change in droppings, open mouthed breathing when at rest, lumps on the body, and any sign of bleeding. Some of these symptoms are very serious.

Breed-Careful choice of the type of bird is important. Some of the larger parrots such as Cockatoos and Macaws can learn a limited vocabulary.  And smaller birds such as Budgies, Parkeets, and Lovebirds, Lorikeets, and Conures can learn while they are young.  Congo African Greys are the most prolific talkers, and can use words and sentences in perfect context in a conversation.

Personality-A bird that is shy, aggressive, or noticeably quiet is not the best pick in terms of being able to speak. It’s best to spend some time observing the bird at different times during the day to get the best idea of how much vocalizing the bird does naturally. This will also help you decide if the voice is a pleasant sound.

Unfortunately, by the time an owner realizes his bird is sick, the bird is more than likely seriously ill. Therefore it becomes even more critical to give your bird the best care possible. Most owners go to pet stores first to try to treat the bird instead of going straight to the vet. This only makes the problem worse. However, if you catch the bird’s illness quickly enough you’ll have a very good chance of getting him back on his feet
