You may be caring for that the little parakeet your child wanted long after she leaves for college. Know the life expectancy for any bird you bring home as a pet.
Parakeets can normally live seven to fourteen years, but most of the time they can actually live up to be 20 years old. It is not hard to get a parakeet to live the full 20 years, if they are given the proper care that they need. Not only do parakeets live a long time but they are also one of the most affordable birds you can buy.
You will surprise to know that Large parrots can outlive you. Macaws and Amazons are the longest-lived pet birds. With excellent care, your bird may live up to 100 years. African grays live about 25 years, as do conures. Cockatoos may reach 40.
Cockatoos are actually not a very well known parrot breeds to have as pets. They aren't very common pets to have because they love to chewy and destroy things like softwood, branches, and even cardboard.

You may know that a dog wagging its tail is friendly, but do you know how your pet bird acts when it is frightened or is considering biting you? 
Pet birds can start to fear humans especially if a pet bird isn't properly socialized consistently when they are babies. Pet birds will sometimes bite their owner completely out of animal impulse.
When your bird fans his tail feathers out, it is excited, over-excited or about to bite you. About half the time you handle a bird when it is flaring its tail, you're going to be bitten.
Many pet bird owners actually make the biting behavior worse by yelling at their bird. A bird would take the yelling as a way to get the owners attention. When it gets to this point it will be very hard to break the bird of the biting. This is actually the main reason why owners get rid of their pet bird.
