In this episode of the Parrot Stars Podcast, we tackle one of the most common and frustrating challenges in parrot ownership: screaming. Excessive vocalization is one of the top reasons parrots are rehomed, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

We break down why parrots scream, what your bird might be trying to communicate, and how you can respond effectively. Learn how to use positive reinforcement, enrichment, and behavioral observation to reduce unwanted noise and build a calmer, happier relationship with your parrot.

Whether your parrot screams for attention, excitement, or frustration, this episode will help you turn the noise into understanding — because a busy, fulfilled parrot is a quiet, content one.

We’re diving into a critical and often controversial topic: parrot wing clipping (and why it’s something you shouldn’t do). While many people clip their bird’s wings with the best of intentions, the reality is that this practice can lead to potentially serious physical and mental consequences, some of which may even seem unnoticeable. Based on our personal experiences, we’ll share why allowing parrots to remain fully flighted is the best and most enriching choice you can make for your feathered companion. We invite you to step into your parrot’s shoes and ask: what truly serves their best interests? Together, let’s take a critical and thoughtful look at the care we provide for these beloved birds, by breaking bygone standards and improving the quality of life for Parrot’s everywhere.

In this episode, we'll talk about all of the details that you need to consider before bringing home a bird. We all know birds are cute—but taking home a Parrot companion is a huge commitment. Our Parrot Stars philosophy is to always prioritize the bird's health, safety, and overall well being. That means sitting down with every prospective bird owner to guide them through the choosing process and talking through all of this critical information that is necessary to get started with the new baby bird.  

Providing proper caging, perching, toys, and of course food are all the absolute essentials to get your bird off the best start. We never let our customers leave with a bird without showing us proof of adequate caging and perching. Whether you're planning to buy from us, or looking at a bird elsewhere, remember our non-negotiable standards for making sure you're ready to give your new bird a safe and happy home.

In this episode, we discuss some of our viewpoints and philosophies on both Animal Conservation and Parrot Conservation. At Parrot Stars, one of our main goals is to promote and impact Parrot Conservation as a whole, for the betterment and well-being of these amazing animals. As biologists, this is a huge topic we are especially passionate about, however we only just brush the surface of the overall issue. We understand these heavy topics can have many viewpoints but we hope to both educate and inspire in this conversation. Conservation starts at home and anyone can make a difference!
