Pionus parrot for sale
Pionus parrot for sale. Pet Pionus are highly intelligent and inquisitive and love to interact with their humans. While content to watch as you go about your chores, they would much rather join in! These parrots thrive on attention. Although hands-on, adults are not cuddly in the way a Cockatoo or Conure might be. In a quiet moment they are happy to sit on or near you and solicit head scratches. They tend to bond strongly with one person, but are often tolerant of other members of the household.
It is all very well describing general characteristics, but it is also important to remember that each bird is an individual. Pionus work hard to fit in with their humans, who in turn report time and again how perfect their bird is for them.
Care & Feeding of Pionus parrots
Pionus parrots are typically good eaters. They should be offered a formulated main diet, such as Lafeber’s Premium Daily Pellets or Nutri-Berries, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.
Speech & Sound of Pionus parrots
Pionus aren’t known as the best talkers, but some individuals can garner quite an impressive vocabulary. Their “speaking voice” isn’t always crystal clear and is often a little rasping, but a guardian can generally make out what the bird is saying.
Because the Pionus parrot is quiet in comparison to many other parrot species, it makes a great apartment bird. One caveat, however: the louder the household, the louder the bird. This goes for all species of parrots, Pionus included. A houseful of screaming children, barking dogs, and blaring televisions can easily teach the sedate Pionus to be noisy.
