The parrot is an extraordinarybird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create alively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energe

26、tic parrot owner, aparrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trainedto say“ Pretty boy ” or “ Polly wcracker, ” and it also can learn towhistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training aparrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of

27、chatter. Anotherreason for the parrot s popularity is that this pet does not require much care.For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purposeof daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or herpet with enough food for five days and have no f

28、ear that the parrot willovereat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food,including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain along with an apple,banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such awell -liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wi

29、ldness. Becausethe parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companionfor many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is adelightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air ofthe mystery of the parrot s native home, the jungle.Thus,
