Why Large Birds are not correct for Everyone

Some of the most exotic animals that are kept as pets are birds. Large birds often attract a good many people because of their intelligence and almost humanlike manner. However, experts agree that large birds are not the right choice for everyone. Large breed birds, like cockatoos and parrots, are highly sought after in the market. When a bird is caged for long periods of time it will form a condition known as “cage bound.” When a bird becomes cage jump it fears the world that is outside of the cage and can turn aggressive. 


That is why large birds need to be allowed out of the confine to roam free for sure times during the day. Health problems are also common with the large birds. If they feel neglected then they may start plucking their feathers out. Birds that are frightened in their cage can do themselves harm by flying around inside the confined space. Other birds will start to bite, which can lead to further problems. As such most pet experts suggest that perspective bird owners do their research before owning a large type bird.
