Parrots are an affectionate and social
bird, with their relationship to mankind
dating back to the early Egyptians and the
time of Alexander the Great. Still,
humans do not really know the bird as
well as they under stand other small ani
mals like the dog and cat, according to
David Graham, D.V.M., Professor of
Avian Health at Texas A&M University.
“These are birds that, in their natural
state, are highly social. Parrots have
bonds with mates that are enduring. They
spend a lot of time in the immediate com
pany of others of their kind,” said Dr.

When the birds are hand-reared in a
human environment, they rely on the
owner to fulfill that social need. A lack
of social stimulus is an important cause of
stress in large birds. Stress can have a
devastating affect on a bird, causing
everything from feather plucking to sus

nourishment due to disrupted diets.
In order for the bird to stay healthy and
live a long life, owners need to allow the
bird to interact with the family and make
sure it receives a healthful, balanced diet
and good medical care.
