1. My life is likely to last 30 or more years. Any separation from you will be painful to me. Remember that before you take me home.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial to my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have only you.
5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when it is speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
7. Remember before you hit me that I have a beak that could easily crush the bones of your hand, but I chose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been in my cage too long
9. Take care of me when I get old; you too will get old.
10. Go with me on the last journey. Never say "I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence". Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember that I love you.
The Hawkhead Parrot is originally from the tropical rainforests of the Amazon. It is a mid-size parrot with a unique ruff of feathers and interesting coloring. The head resembles the head of a hawk (hence the name) in coloring with its beige and brown streaks. The ruff which rises up around the neck is beautifully colored deep red with blue tips. Their abdomens match the ruff. The rest of the bird is covered in beautiful green feathers ending in brownish black at the primaries.
