If you’re interested in buying a parrot, you’re not alone. Ownership has increased more than 20 percent in US households since the early 1980s, to approximately 53 million birds. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, that makes parrots the second most popular pet – just behind cats, with dogs running a close third.

Parrots are beautiful, social, and come in a range of sizes and personalities to match their owners’ needs and tastes. They can fit in homes too small to accommodate a cat or a dog, but they also get along fine with other pets. In short, they can provide a lifetime of pleasure and companionship for anyone willing to accept the responsibility for their care.
