So you want a Pet Bird...

Bird Smuggling

Parrots are commonly smuggled into the United States from Tijuana. Smugglers bringing in these birds are not giving them the proper care, with 9 out of 10 smuggled birds dying in transit. Smugglers use anything to keep the babies quiet, including alcohol & drugs. Baby birds need heat and the correct nutrients; smugglers often fail to provide these essentials to keep them alive. Birds smuggled into the United States carry diseases, which can be transmitted to humans.

Choosing a Bird: How to Decide Which Breed is Right for You!

As a rule, the bigger the bird, the bigger the commitments involved with keeping it. Large birds can make exceptional companions, but are often louder, messier, and more demanding than smaller breeds.

The size of your bird will be important in determining how you will care for your pet, as far as training, housing requirements, and overall interaction.
