Hello, new parrot parent, or PARRONT, and welcome to your new life as a bird owner! While we at Bird Cages 4 Less are just one part of parronts online, we hope to be a common place for you to seek advice on how to best care for your new feathered family member. As you’ll learn over time, being a parront is a unique experience when compared to sharing your home with other types of pets. Parrots, and all companion birds, are highly intelligent, quirky, and very human-like in their mannerisms. While your bird himself will be your best teacher on behavior, you can rely on us to help you get their basic needs situated! Here’s a short guide that will direct you on where to seek more in-depth information on each category of parronting. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on ANY article – and we will get back to you, as soon as possible!
