Why you shouldn't get a parrotlet?

Birds are beautiful in the wild, and they're incredibly cute, but they are not good pets because they require so much care. Parrots taken from the wild aren't meant to be kept in cages. Birds that are born to caged birds are still only one or two generations from being tamed. They're not domesticated pets.

Are parrotlets mean?

Although parrotlets are not as aggressive as their reputation makes them seem, they will occasionally bite pets and humans. So you will need to supervise any time they spend out of their cages.

Are parrotlets true parrots?

Despite their name, parrotlets are truly parrots. They are related to the larger, green Amazon parrots and have the Amazon's big personality packed into a small frame. As any parrotlet owner will tell you, parrotlets have the temperament of a large parrot in a small bird's body.

Do parrotlets pee?

Your pet parrot does urinate, but a bird's urinary system is quite different and more complex than a mammal's. ... A parrot's urinary tract produces urine and uric acid, does not have a bladder, and has a single opening for poop and pee, which are usually excreted together.

Do parrotlets like to be held?

Hand-fed parrotlets are very friendly, especially if the guardian takes the time to keep handling the bird. If left alone for too long, a single parrotlet can lose some of its companionability.

How do I get my parrotlet to trust me?

I would place and remove food, treats, toys, clean the cage and even spend time just sitting in front of the cage with my hands in the cage. The point is to get they used to your hands as just part of their new world.

Can you keep two male parrotlets together?

Very little tolerance with two males looking for dominance. One may submit, but health damage can result from the stress of the submissive one.

Can a parrotlet mate with a lovebird?

I've seen the picture and the description, so yes its possible. Just as parrotlets bond to humans, they can too bond to lovebirds, or other birds for that. You'll want to keep an eye out though and make sure your bird still loves you and doesn't start biting and nipping when you have just him out for play time.
