sorta off topic… but are birds a good pet? I’ve been toying with either the idea of a cat, a bird, or even maybe a chinchilla. I’d prefer to have a dog but my complex doesn’t allow them :\*( I like interactive pets (even though a chinchilla wouldn’t be one), and birds are pretty intellegent so I’ve been thinkin about gettin one to train it and all that. ---

> [@fester8542](#): > > How old is the parrot? > Most parrots, particularly African Greys tend to form a special bond with one person. Being away from that person can certainly depresses the hell out of them. My african grey gets very depressed whenever I travel for more than a couple of days and even starts plucking out her own feathers she gets so distressed. > > Are you able to hold the bird and give it physical attention? > > If so I recommend doing so as much as possible.

Takes time for them to get adjusted to a new enviorment, Climatic condition, etc. After few days once they know they are safe and they have a friendl enviorment they are going to be fine. ---
