With so many species of birds on our planet to learn about, some popular breeds have been extracted from their natural habitats or bred in captivity to live in homes and zoos. Many times owners of animals do not realize the amount of work/care or financial investment required to properly provide a safe habitat for their bird(s), and end up having to give them away to organizations like the Humane Society. It is always best to do your research first. Ask questions to the experts by reaching out before making any commitments that might not be sustainable. Then if you do decide to bring a bird home, it will be the start of a very rewarding experience.
