Talking parrot wants a larger slice of cantaloupe

Einstein's owner gave him a parrot sized portion of cantaloupe, but he was not satisfied with a small piece and he helped himself to a larger portion. Cantaloupe is a very nutritious snack for both humans and parrots. They are high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and choline. Parrots love the sweet flavor of this delicious fruit. One must keep in mind that what is an appropriate serving size for a human is not appropriate for a parrot. A cube about the size of a domino is about the right size for a parrot. However, you have to give Einstein credit for knowing what's good and wanting a bigger piece!

A parrot such as Einstein can live to be 50 or 60 years old. Many larger parrots like Macaws can live to be 100 years old. They all require a lot of care, proper nutrition, training, time and patience. Parrots need a lot of attention and lots of toys and activities to keep from being bored. Parrots are also expensive, a large cage is an investment and plenty of play perches to spend their out of cage time. Specialized veterinarian care is also required. Most of all they require your companionship and a forever home. Many people decide after the first few years of parrot ownership that the responsibility is too great and the parrots become neglected and sometimes abandoned. When that happens they are sent to parrot rescue facilities to be adopted by a new family or some spend their lives in sanctuaries. It is often said, "Having a parrot is much like raising a 2 or 3 year old child for the rest of your life!"
