Measure a Bird's Lifespan & Noise Level

Hi my name is Sarah and I’m coming to you from Petland in Pinborough Pines, Florida today and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am going to speak with you today about how to buy a pet bird. One of the things to consider when you are thinking about bringing a bird into your household is the life span of that bird. Some of the larger parrots can live up to 50 to 60 years so it is very important that you understand that when you decide to purchase or adopt a bird. Some of the smaller birds can even live 10 to 15 years so once again it is very important that you understand birds don’t just live 5 to 10 years. They have much longer life spans than most people anticipate. One thing that some people are not prepared for when purchasing or adopting a new bird is the noise factor. Some bird species can be extremely noisy such as the blue and gold macaw behind me here. Other even smaller birds such as conures and quakers even with their small size can be extremely noisy birds. You really should do some research when considering getting a bird to find the right bird for you when it comes to the noise factor. You should however understand that no matter what species of bird you get, they do tend to have periods where they vocalize quite a bit usually during the dawn and dusk hours. Vocalizing is one way that birds just burn off extra energy and you have to be prepared to have that noise factor in your house.
