Yeah. Its really sad when people own birds as pets and just keep them because they are "pretty."
What does everyone think about keeping birds as pets? I know alot of people think its wrong.
I think if they are a loved pet its ok because they are domesticated like dogs or cats. Its totally wrong in my opinion to never let them out of the cage though. Even if the owner works all day they should have some time for the bird at night. Its cruel otherwise.
Parrots are EXTREMELY intelligent animals. They bond closely to their owners, are protective, loving, loyal and some have high cognitive brain patterns. I think you shouldn't buy one unless you really know what your getting yourself into
yeah they are extremly social animals so a lot of them easily form good bonds with humans. like my birds regurgitate seeds to me lol! which is a bit gross but its a sign of affection so i love when they do it! !

I am against purchasing birds. You purchase them and it keeps the horrid cycle going of breeding for demand.
You can adopt birds through wildlife centers, shelters, etc.
In WA Rainbow Lorikeets are pests. Farmers have permission to shoot them. Sigh. So when we get them bought into Kanyana we are unable to release them (it's illegal) so instead we adopt them out. It is this or they get euthanised. Once I am in my new house I will be thinking of getting a pair as they are so funny and clever and friendly.
We also adopt out galahs, corellas, cockies, and the such, who are of good nature and for one reason or another can not be released. We have a lady who adopts these out and goes through everything with the prospective adopters.

I hate how Humans see our native animals as pests!! it enrages me!! First of all, it proves that most humans are anthropocentric and think that these animals are getting in the way of their lifestyle..
I dont have anything like a rescue shelter in my area.. where else can you adopt? Any ideas? I want a parrot (not now because I cant own an animal in my apartment) but I dont really want to encourage breeding when birds get euthanised...
My neighbor has an aviary and if I knew the birds would survive in the wild I would sneak over and release them.
My boyfriend is not a vegetarian or anything but he HATES how people keep birds in cages.
