Are Parrots good pets?

Image result for Parrots
While many parrot species do well with well-behaved children, and can be excellent family pets, they are generally not a good child's pet due to their potential lifespan and care required. Parrots require consistent daily care and attention and are also longer lived than most other companion animals.

Parrots, and magpies, are among the most intelligent birds. And the ability of some species to imitate human speech enhances their popularity as pets.
