• Before deciding that Parrot ownership is for you, put a lot of time and energy into completely researching all of what parrot ownership involves. They are LOUD, MESSY, DESTRUCTIVE, and have a gift for picking up all of the phrases you wish they wouldn't learn and repeating them at the most inopportune times!
• Parrots require and demand a great amount of time, attention and work. They are like a 2 year old child that never grows up and they may outlive their owner!
• Some parrots have lived to be 100 years old. Because of their longevity it's important to make guardianship arrangements for them if something should happen to you.
• The approximate cost of purchasing a Scarlet Macaw is $1,400.00.
