Birds such as Cockatiels and cockatoos tend to have quite a bit of dander powder and sadly provoke allergies in some sensitive people and appropriate filtrations need to be set up in your home to take care of the bird. and allergy ridden family members. there are also these factors to consider as well: 1. birds especially the larger ones can be loud, and some can make people want to ditch the bird to the nearest buyer they can, but it angers me that they always want a full refund so they charge whatever they think they can to their unsuspecting friend that they are buying a bird with a potential behavior problem. 2. If yoou show fear to a bird, he loves to continue the intimidation and you may provoke and encourage him to bite because birds love drama. if they bite and you scream and run the bird will think biting is a game and you will probably encourage him to bite repeatedly., The best thing to do is to not react at all. Take the bite, and never never strike your bird., 3. birds do not understand punishment, but they do understand, no attention. 4. They flap and fly and can intimidate people just enough to make people feel they shouldn't have ever brought a bird into their lives. 5. All birds bite. If yoiu can't live with getting bit once in a while for whatever reason and you won't learn to read your birds to find out when and why your bird might strike you at any time you have no business owning a bird. On that note: if you don't like new clothes, or nice clothes getting filled with cuddle drill holes your parrots make on your shirt a bird is not for you. On one other and final note: you should never purchase a parrot with the thought when you get in a pinch, or you want that overdue vacation, or that new car, or something expensive, you should not be using your parrot as chunk change and sell him off to get it. when you do, you set your winged angel up for the vicious rehoming cycle that is cruel, and a living hell for any bird that gets put on it so with that said, any family should do their homework before bringing a pet bird home. Parrots should never be owned explicitly by children, childrn should share ownership with their parents and their family........

Today we saw a Rainbow Macaw flying around, who ever lost that will be gutted, but thats what they get for not closing their doors.
