No parrots now, grew up with a rescue Yellow naped Amazon
What is the definition of Tame? If a bird is hand raised it that considered tame?

Thanks

without the savageness or fear of humans normal in wild animals; gentle, fearless, or without shyness, as if domesticated: That lion acts as tame as a house cat. tractable, docile, or submissive, as a person or the disposition.

Being hand-raised doesn't necessarily mean they're tame. They can still be fearful and uninterested in interacting with humans.

Parrot, docile, and submissive. Now that?s a sentence for the record books!


Excellent definitions!! With parrots as technically undomesticated companions, parront expectations will vary! Some will do better with large and colorful stuffed parrot!!
