Is a parrot a good first-time pet?

A small parrot can make a good first-time pet as long as you look into what it requires before you buy one. Larger parrots are highly specialised pets, as they are highly intelligent and live for a long time.

How do I know if a bird is healthy?

Healthy birds are active, bright and their feathers are in good condition. It is difficult to recognise an ill bird as they hide any illnesses until they are really quite sick. A bird should not sit quietly in a corner, fluffed up and not eating. If you think your bird is ill, do not hesitate to take it to your vet, as an ill looking bird is always an emergency.
