22. Parrots and Bearded Dragon
Manage episode 285676698 series 2808756
To finish up Responsible Pet Ownership month we take a look at two exotic pet species: parrots and bearded dragon. Just the sound of an annoying parrot squawk should be enough for you to think twice before brining one into your home. Parrots are social birds: macaws, conures, cockatoos, you name it they are gregarious. And when you bring one into your home you can bet that they are going to need some attention...did I say some, I meant LOTS! Think of them like a child...a two year old child but for 50 years!! Sounds fun, right parents. Not only that they're smart and if you bring one into your home it is you job to make sure they are living an enriching life, if not, then maybe consider a house plant.
Bearded Dragons on the other hand, do make pretty good pets but they do require a lot of set up; between the heat, the food, the exercise. The bearded dragon is an Australian lizard (*not a real dragon*) that just like a parrot, dog, rabbit or any animal you decide to bring into your home you need to do your research to make sure you and your family are ready to care for these animals before bringing them into her family.
Here are the scientific names:
Blue and yellow macaw: Ara ararauna
Thick billed parrot: Rhychopsitta pachyrhyncha
African Gray: Psittacus erithacus
Blue crowned conure: Aratinga acuticaudata
Bearded dragon: Pogona vitticeps
