Our family just adopted our first bird – a Parrotlet. What is the best way to socialize and train this new addition to our family? He is almost 6 weeks old. I am still hand feeding him some. He is starting to eat Petamine and I have given him some fresh foods. My questions are:
–How likely are these birds to talk? Do you know of one that says many words or phrases?
–How much should I allow my parrotlet to be out of his cage, and what is the best way to handle him?
–How different is this species from a budgie or similar bird?
I did a lot of research before choosing a bird, but the information for Parrotlet’s seems limited. All the websites I have found say virtually the same thing. Anyone with any experience that they can share, would be greatly appreciated!!
