Parrotlets!! š„³ š£
š§¬DNA: TBD
The parrotlet parrot might be small, but it is big in personality. These pint-size parrots are bold and assertive, and they can learn to talk, too.
Despite their name, parrotlets are truly parrots. They are related to the larger, green Amazon parrots and have Amazonās big personality packed into a small frame. As any parrotlet owner will tell you, parrotlets have the temperament of a large parrot in a tiny package. Up to 40 year life span.
They are active but not overly loud or squawky, so they can be kept in apartments or in homes with noise-sensitive neighbors. With enough repetition, they can learn to speak some words, although they are not as prolific speakers as large parrots. They also will respond to their names and recognize their owners by sight and sound. They can learn to perform simple tricks like hanging upside down from an ownerās finger.
Parrotlets require daily handling to socialize and acclimate. They can be hand-tamed and are very interactive. In fact, many parrotlet owners will tell you that their birds enjoy hiding in their shirt pockets or scarves or riding around on their shoulders. When trained, they are adorable but are strong-willed and will let their owners know if they have an opinion on something. They can be territorial around their cage, and if they are not handled often enough, they can be nippy, moody, and aggressive. Therefore, they are not ideal for families with babies or young children.
A parrotlet is a one-of-a-kind pet to own. Make sure to spend quality time each day with your parrotlet. Along with a healthy diet and a variety of toys, this tiny bundle of cuteness and you will enjoy a happy, healthy fun-filled life together
