As the market for parrots as pets grows, so does the number of abandoned parrots. Many parrot owners do not understand the commitment required in owning a parrot. They become easily frustrated, and ultimately choose to give up. Parrot rescue shelters and pet stores are full of parrots waiting for homes. However, if making the decision to choose a parrot companion from a shelter or store instead of from a breeder becomes a real possibility, owners must be aware of some behavioral problems that shelter or store parrots may have accumulated.

Many pet stores and shelters are not well equipped to deal with the needs and demands that specialty parrots may have. Often times, parrots are left alone to develop problems such as biting, chewing, and screeching. New owners must be aware that some of these behavioral problems will be challenging to remedy.

However, problems may still arise. Because parrots are such intelligent and sensitive creatures, they can become easily stressed. From one cage to another or from one home to another, parrots require slow and calm transitions. Providing the parrot with similar sized cage with similar toys and perches will allow the parrot to ease into their new home. This rule applies with diet changes, as well. If a new food needs to be integrated into a parrot’s diet, ease a new food into their meal plan a little at a time. Large changes, executed quickly will cause unnecessary problems that could easily be remedied with proper transitioning practices.

Aggression problems such as biting and chewing can also be solved by providing a parrot with adequate chew toys and foods to gnaw on. Biting can be a reflection of boredom or a parrot’s instinctual need to taste the world around them. Large chunks of fruits and vegetables can be hung on strings from the top of the cage, woven between the bars, or placed inside of toys. This will not only stimulate a parrot physically, but mentally as well. Keeping their interests creatively held will solve many biting and chewing behavior problems.

Most parrot breeds are naturally vocal. Without proper speech training, they may screech and scream as a way to express themselves. Vocal exercising and trick training may serve as an outlet for their socialization and vocal needs. Patient, routine vocal exercises should solve most screaming or screeching problems. Whatever the behavioral problem maybe, often times the remedy is troubleshooting before the problem occurs. By researching and becoming educated about the particular parrot species chosen, many problems can be solved before they’ve even begun. However, if problems do occur, patient, well researched, and loving correction can easily remedy most problems, turning a feathered foe into a lifelong friend!
