A Parrot's Bill Of Rights

GET TO KNOW ABOUT PARROTS BEFORE YOU BRING ME HOME.
I am not a domesticated pet like a dog or cat. I still have the spirit of the jungle in me.
I have special needs which you may find hard to fill.Please don't learn these too late
for my well-being. Please don't acquire one of my cousins wild from the jungle,it will
jeopardize his survival and well-being, and that won't be a party for you either!
GIVE ME THE LARGEST HOME POSSIBLE.
I am used to flying through rain forests or savannas. I have given up this gift for your
pleasure. At the very least, give me enough room to flap my wings and exercise. I need toys
for my amusement and wood to chew, otherwise i might confuse your home with the forest
and it's trees.
GIVE ME A NUTRITIOUS DIET.
I need a wide variety of fresh and nutritious foods, even if they take time to prepare.
I cannot survive on seeds alone. take time to learn what my needs and preferences are.
LET ME HAVE A "SOCIAL LIFE".
I am a gregarious flock animal, but i am not one of you. I need lots of socialization
to leard how to act with you, with my siblings.I also need to have adequate quality
time with you every day, no matter what your schedule or other needs are.
I am a living, feeling creature. Above all, i need to be able to have complete trust in you
and count on your predictability in looking after me everyday.
LET ME BE CLEAN.
I may like to drop food or even throw it, but i need meticulous cleanliness to be healthy.
My skin itches without frequent showers, the barbs of my feathers won't seal if they become
oily and , worst of all, i may become ill if my food or water is not always sanitary.
