PLEASE NOTE**
Gotcha's wings were not fully grown in this video, (as previous owners kept his wings clipped. When he was rescued I let them grow, I don't clip my birds wings) REGARDLESS I'm embarrassed that I do not have a harness on him....
I'm very very thankful nothing happened to him, even though he could not fly at the time it is silly not to make him as safe as possible! As anything can happen to them when outdoors free roaming.
Even a clipped bird can take flight (I've seen it personally)
Previous owners kept his wings clipped, but I have let them grow!
He CAN fly now, and you can see in my more recent videos that he is in a harness 100% of the time when we're outdoors ☺️.
PLEASE, harness train your parrots whether they are clipped or not and get them outdoors! The sunshine and warm fresh air are essential to their health and well-being.
Thanks for watching! 💙
❗️❗️❗️85% of parrots are either resold, given away, or abandoned within just 2 short years of being purchased.
DO YOUR RESEARCH before adopting a bird. They are a LIFETIME COMMITMENT!
I cannot stress enough how heartbreaking this sad truth is.... Too many people impulse buy parrots because of cute or funny traits they'vet seen in other birds.
A life stuck in a cage is cruel and so unfair to these magnificent beautiful creatures.
They deserve the absolute best!
If you are interested in a parrot, adopt one because you have the time, money, patience, energy and if you want to save them from a life stuck behind bars, not solely because they are cute or funny or talk etc.
Again parrots are a LIFETIME commitment.
They can live up to 80+ years!!
I've given up many many things to give my two parrots and other animals the best life they can possibly have!
It is an honor to share our lives with these amazing creatures, remember that....
Please do your research before adopting.
After all, we have our friends, our jobs, and our hobbies.
They only have us💗❗️❗️
