Purpose

This is my first blog ever and it's about parrots hence the title. I am going to try and compile information, stories, and as many parrot related things as I possibly can onto this blog. I'm not a parrot expert and most of what I know is from research, personal experience, and observation. I own one Quaker Parrot named Kiki and she has been with us since May 2, 2009. Obviously I might not be correct on my blog information all the time and I'll try and post as many of my own pictures and videos as I can as well as media I find on the Internet.

I'm also not trying to convince anyone to buy a parrot because even though they might not be as high maintenance they are quite difficult to handle at times, can be quite messy, have a high price range, and have additional discrepancies one should take in to consideration before purchasing a parrot or any pet for that matter. Many people prefer dogs, cats, or they choose not to have a pet at all which isn't a bad thing. I have owned a dog before and I know people who believe in not keeping pets because they feel bad about housing an animal they believe should be free.
