Parrot Owner Experience Survey

This anonymous survey is meant to discover what you have experienced as a parrot owner, what you did not expect beforehand, and what you would like prospective parrot owners to know about it. Thank you for taking the time to take this survey.

Hey friends, I’m working on a research project for class about the amount of parrots that get left at shelters and how educating prospective owners on the difficulties of owning a parrot may decrease this number. If you’ve owned a parrot I’d be super grateful if you could take a second to fill out this anonymous survey on your experiences with them! Thank you!

Please share this, particularly with anyone you know that lives in/near Los Angeles. Picasso, Marlene’s mustache parakeet flew away and has been missing since July 3rd. He’s a friendly bird that will step up to you easily, but especially now because he’s most likely very hot and very hungry. She’s offering a reward for his return. Please, every reblog helps. 😔🐦🙏🏻🌹

GUYS. GUYS.

So some of you who have been around a while know I used to work at a small, privately-owned, bird-focused pet store, right? And some of those of you might remember that we had a black palmed cockatoo, Artie, there. He was wild-caught illegally back in the ‘80s–the shipment was seized by Fish & Wildlife, some of the birds were sent back to Indonesia, but some were not. Artie bounced around to a few places–a zoo, a couple private people, and eventually ended up at our store (the owner was heavily involved in the bird community and was involved with all this somehow, idk I wasn’t around). Anyway, he had been with us for more than a decade, and since he was wild caught he was never really tame, and the owner always wanted to find a breeder to take him, since black palms are so endangered. She figured since he’s here, and being wild caught his genetics would be diverse from captive populations here, it would be awesome to help propagate the species.

ANYWAY a year or so ago, he finally went to a breeder, and he almost IMMEDIATELY hit it off with one of her females, and they laid an egg very soon after. The breeder & Ruth weren’t sure it would be fertile, since it was so fast and all, BUT IT WAS AND IT HATCHED AND LOOK HOW CUTE THIS BABY IS IM CRYING.

This is the story of a birb

Who opened her beak and screamed at the world

And while she looked so sad on the internet

I absolutely love her

When she smiles
