Category: Education

It is a sad fact that people typically know very little about the creatures that they have chosen to keep as pets. For some owners the keeping of parrots is simply a matter of providing a cage, water and basic food. But even for more responsible people who undertake the care of these animals with diligence and love, there is often a lack of knowledge which hinders proper care.

The pages in this section are included in an attempt to fill in the gaps in peoples knowledge and to educate about the needs of these magnificent creatures.
