Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots' behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild
Living in a group.B. Growing beautiful feathers.
C. Feeding on the ground.D. Avoiding coming out at night.
What is parrots' first response to an immediate risk
To attack back.　　B. To get away.
C. To protect the young.　　D. To play dead.
Why would a balloon frighten a parrot
It may explode suddenly.B. It may be in a strange shape
.C. It may have a strong color.D. It may move around quickly.
What is the author's purpose of writing the text
To explain wild parrots' behavior.B. To give advice on raising a parrot.
