| Reasons for parrots in private homes: |
|
Man considers the advantages that he has by keeping a parrot as a pet: he wants to have a partner he can talk to and caress whenever he feels like
it. |
| A parrot is able to convey to man the feeling of mutual understanding because of its intelligence, docility, bond with man and ability to speak. |
| Thus a special, quite personal relationship between man and animal develops in which the animal wholly complies with the needs of the human being
whereas man hardly ever fulfils the needs a bird has because these are almost completely unknown to him. |
