With the maturity of people's bird raising technology, more and more people like to raise parrots from fledglings. Parrots raised in this way are not wary of humans, like to play with people, and treat their owners as playmates. people.

Parrots that people often raise nowadays include cockatiels with beautiful crests and colorful budgerigars. , and the curious and naughty peony parrot. No matter what kind of parrots they are, they are very lovable after people raise them from childhood. In addition to taking good care of them, he also teaches them various skills and completely treats them as a member of the family. Similarly, the parrot behaves like a good baby indoors, making people completely forget that it is originally an elf belonging to the sky.

As time goes by, owners can't help but want to take the parrots outside to play, but many friends are worried that the birds will never come back after going out, so some are worried about flying. Friends who leave will tie the birds with flying ropes, and some simply clip some feathers on the parrots' wings to reduce their flying ability. But a parrot that cannot fly will always lose some of its original temperament. Some friends who are very confident about their parrots will still try to take them outdoors with a try mentality. However, without long-term training, most parrots will fly away outdoors or fly to high branches. Go up, or land on a residential building, no matter how loudly you call them, they will be indifferent, and we can only watch them fly away from our eyes.

At this time, you may regret it very much and wonder why your friend who is usually so close to you wants to leave. Just leave us? Don't they have any nostalgia?

The reason for this situation is actually very simple

(1) Your parrot has not been trained to fly before taking it outdoors, and the parrot does not recognize any relevant things after it flies. Instructions, you can only act according to your own consciousness.

(2) The changes in the outdoor environment have aroused great curiosity in parrots. The blue sky, white clouds, and tall trees constantly lure parrots to explore instinctively.

(3) There are also some factors that we cannot see. When a parrot flies into the air, the situation is different from that on the ground. There will be gas convection in the high air. Due to the different temperatures between high and low places, hot and cold air flows continuously. Parrots have adapted to life on the ground before, but for flying species, they are very sensitive to the flow of air. When encountering this kind of flowing air in the air for the first time, it will cause them to panic. If they fly too high all of a sudden, even if If they want to fly back to you, they may not be able to grasp the flight direction and fall to other high places, or fly away with the wind.

(4) Domestic parrots have poor direction discrimination ability, unlike wild birds that are accustomed to the vast sky. Therefore, once a parrot falls far away, it is generally difficult for it to find its way back.

Once there is no conditioned reflex to have a designated password for them, no matter how you shout, the possibility of them coming back is not too great. For parrots raised in captivity, their flying ability has been partially degraded. They cannot fly very high or for a long time. When they are tired from flying, they will stop and rest.

So what will happen to the life of a parrot after leaving humans?

For large parrots raised in captivity, their ability to survive in the wild is very low. They can survive for 2-3 days without eating or drinking. But often for these parrots with low foraging ability and low flying ability, food is not their biggest threat to survival.

Domestic parrots are very beautiful in appearance and bright in color. They can easily attract the attention of other creatures in the wild and their awareness of danger is low. Snakes come late to rest on branches during the day, or are hunted by shrikes in flight. Carnivorous owls at night can also put their lives at risk.

So the fate of parrots that are far away from humans is generally not good. If they are lucky, they will be picked up by others and raised again. For those parrots that we have taken care of since childhood, we should be more cautious and responsible when treating them. After all, we have put a lot of effort and affection into them.
