If you are getting a bird for a child there are some things you may not be aware of. While it is not a hard-and-fast rule, most people agree that a child should be at least 6 or 7 years old before you bring a pet bird into the home. Children younger than this tend to be more impulsive, and they can injure a bird in an accident, such as falling, stepping on the bird, or handling it too roughly without understanding how delicate it is. Young children move quickly, which can make many parrots nervous. Age is a subjective consideration. Some 5-year-olds are extremely calm and responsible; some 8-year-olds are careless and irresponsible. It is up to the parents to honestly consider the capacity of their child to handle a delicate pet such as a bird. They are not as "durable" as cats and dogs, being quite vulnerable to injury. Also take into consideration how traumatic it would be for your child if he or she is not mature enough and ends up injuring or killing the bird in an accident, not to mention how sad this will be for the poor bird.

For anyone buying a bird the most important step in getting a pet bird is the research you do before you run out to get one. Study up on each species to make sure it is a bird you can live with (and a bird that can live with you). Once you have decided on which species is most appropriate for your lifestyle, the next step is to decide where you will find your pet. There are a number of places you can purchase a bird, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.
