What can you expect when you partner with Susan's Parrot Place to bring a Companion Parrot into your life?

Why is Susan and her Flock different from a pet store or breeder?

What benefits do I get buying from Susan's Parrot Place?
These are all great questions that I hear from my prospective customers all the time and reasonable questions they are. Let's talk about this...

Here at Susan's Parrot Place, I want those that choose to work with me to find the ideal companion parrot, to know that there is no better value or approach they can find. I strive to ensure that each prospective new companion parrot owner is properly educated, assessed for the right type and fit of companion parrot, and truly understands the responsibility and obligation that goes with owning one of these magnificent creatures. I want to be sure that once my customers have decided to move forward with their decision to share their life with a companion parrot that they will have made a logical decision and not just an emotional one.

Pet stores and breeders are quite different in their approach to raising and caring for companion parrots and in how they price and support the sale of their baby parrots. Let's take a look at each of these:

1. Pet Stores - Their primary business is in the retail selling of products associated with pets and their care. They make their largest margins on the food, toys, cages and accessories that they sell to their customers. Their primary knowledge is in the business of selling, not raising pets. In the case of birds, you will often find that due to lack of socialization, nurturing and proper development guidance, many birds you see in pet stores today cannot typically be handled by customers, and quite often not even by the staff or management. This is primarily due to the birds being brought in to be sold and the simple fact that these pet stores neither have the qualified staff nor the time and ability to manage the needs of exotic birds. Customers of these establishments are forced into making a purchase from what is in stock at the time. Lastly, retail stores, due to their higher overhead associated with running a store front business, typically charge higher prices for the products and services they offer.

Pet stores and breeders are quite different in their approach to raising and caring for companion pa

2. Breeders - While breeders have strong experience in hand-feeding and initial care for babies during the critical first two months of development, most do not have the space and facilities to take their babies thru the fully weaned process. There are typically two types of breeders operating in today's marketplace. The breeder network that Susan's Parrot Place is affiliated with does not fall into either of these two catagories.
One type of breeder focuses on the mass breeding, hatching, feeding and forced weaning of baby birds for the large commercial and retail outlet pet stores. They sell baby birds with the focus being on volume of sales, not the quality of the exotic birds.

The other common type of breeder raises their babies to an almost weaned state, then sells them to small specialty bird shops and other pet related facilities that have been educated in the final stages of hand-feeding and proper weaning. Many of the places these birds may end up are not fully capable of this critical transition process. Once again, this type of breeder is focused on selling baby birds and not on raising, developing, socializing and nurturing that these amazing creatures need if they are going to thrive as companion parrots.

3. Benefits of Susan's Parrot Place - I offer a companion parrot focused approach that sets my birds apart from the rest of the flocks out there.

PARROTS AS PETS

Parrots can be really amusing creatures to have in a home. If well trained and looked after, they will live for a very, very long time. They are brilliant at learning things quickly which of course, includes mimicking most noises they hear. A few of the breeds are exceptionally good talkers with the lovely African Grey parrot being the best of them. Below are a few fun and interesting facts about these delightful, often gregarious feathered friends:

There are around 353 different species of these lovely, brightly feathered birds in the world
There are two families of parrots – the Cacatuidae (cockatoos) and the Psittacidae (true parrots)
Parrots are known as Zygodactylous which is a bird that has the first and fourth toes pointing backwards whereas the second and third point forward
Grey parrots are also called “Jakos” or African Greys
Parrots in the wild live on seeds, fruits, nuts, buds and lots of other plants found in their natural habitats – they will however, eat any meat they find in the rainforest too!
Parrots are incredibly intelligent birds
A parrot's natural habitat is tropical or subtropical – they can be found in many rainforests of the world
Parrots are popular pets because they are beautiful to look at, they have gorgeous bright plumage and they are very affectionate and sociable birds to keep in a home environment
The first parrot was imported to the UK in 1504 although the Romans kept them way before this date
In many species of parrots, the males and females are identical – blood tests need to be done to tell them apart

From Tiny Parrots to Really Big Ones

Parrots come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny little birds with tiny little beaks to really big parrots with massive beaks – namely the parrots native to the South American rainforests, the Macaws and Amazons. Here are a few facts about the different species of parrots found in the world:

The most popular small parrot to keep in the home is the budgerigar
The smallest parrot in the world is the Buff-faced Pygmy Parrot – Latin name is Micropsitta Pusio, the little bird only weighs in at 0.4 oz and grows to a very small 3.5 inches
One of the biggest parrots that people like to keep are the Hyacinth Macaws – the Latin name is Anodorhynchus Hyacinthinus. The parrot can weigh in at around 5 lbs and grows up to 39 inches
The lightest parrot only weighs 0.4 oz and the heaviest can be up to 5 lbs
The heaviest parrot in the world is the Kakapoo – also known as the Night Parrot or Owl Parrot
Other popular parrots are Amazons, Cockatiels, Cockatoos, African Greys, Parakeets and Lovebirds
The lifespan of parrots is around 80 years
The oldest and most famous parrot lived to the ripe old age of 87
The only nocturnal parrot is the Kakapo
Parrots are omnivores – they eat meat and vegetables
Parrots use their bills and toes when they climb up things
Parrots mate for life – they are monogamous birds
The best mimics are the African Greys
Wild parrots do not imitate or mimic
Parrots are the only birds that can pick up their food with their feet and bring it to their mouths in order to eat
All species of parrots lay white eggs
In the United States there are around 11 million parrots kept as pets
The only native parrot to America is the thick-billed Rhynchopsitta Pachyrhyncha

It is now illegal to take parrots from the wild and domesticate them. The ban was set in place to protect many endangered species found around the world. This means all parrots sold in the UK have been bred in this country and not imported from their country of origin. If they have, the parrots must have the correct documentation to verify they were bred in captivity in their country of origin and not taken from the wild. Here are a few facts about the endangered species of parrots in the world.

There are around 130 species of parrots on the endangered or threatened list which has been compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature otherwise known as the IUCN. Below is a list of endangered parrots around the world:

The Red-Tailed Amazon
The Yellow-Headed Amazon
The Red-Browed Amazon
The Vinaceous Amazon
The Green-Cheeked Amazon
The Norfolk Island Parakeet
The Pink-Billed Parrotfinch
The Golden-Shouldered Parrot
The Thick-Billed Parrot
The Black-Eared Parrotlet
The Golden-Tailed Parrotlet
The Hyacinth Macaw
The Red-Fronted Macaw
The Carnaby's Black Cockatoo

Parrots that are considered to be critically endangered are listed below:

The Puerto Rican Amazon
The Night Parrot
The Fuertes's Parrot
The Orange-Bellied Parrot
The Yellow-Eared Conure
The Owl Parrot
The Lear's Macaw
The Blue-Throated Macaw
The Lesser Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo
The Red-Vented Cockatoo
The Mauritius Parakeet
The Glaucous Macaw

Apart from being very intelligent, parrots can do other things like being able to see ultraviolet light – something humans cannot do. More fun and interesting facts about parrots:

Parrots usually sleep standing on one leg
The most famous parrot in the world is an African Grey called Alex and owned by Dr Irene Pepperberg. Alex can name over 100 objects, colours and actions
The most talkative bird was a budgie called Puck who knew over 1,700 words

As previously mentioned, parrots are very clever birds and some even self medicate. Parrots in South America, namely the Conures, Amazons and Macaws have been seen to eat clay when they need to detoxify their bodies. The parrots eat the clay because some of the seeds they like to eat contain toxins and the clay helps them cleanse the poisons out of their bodies. These lovely birds are native to many of the warmer countries of the world including India, West Africa and south east Asia. However, the greatest number of parrots are found on the continents of Australasia, Central America and South America.
